Sobre este artículo
London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1901. Vellum. Very Good Indeed. 12.5" by 10". Hugh Thomson. A limited edition copy of J. M. Barrie's play 'Quality Street', illustrated with colour plates throughout by Hugh Thomson, signed by the artist. A limited edition work, limited to one thousand copies, this one numbered one-hundred and four. Signed by the artist to the edition page. 'Quality Street' is a play written by J. M. Barrie. The play follows two sisters, Phoebe and Susan, as they start a school for 'genteel children', as they try and get the attention of an old suitor who went away to war. The play was written before Barrie's famous 'Peter Pan', and it opened on Broadway in 1901, with the cast including Seymour Hicks, Ellaline Terriss, Marion Terry, and Irene Rooke. J. M. Barrie is best known for his work 'Peter Pan', who was inspired to write the novel by the Llewelyn Davies boys. His other works, including this play, were popular, but often overshadowed by the success of 'Peter Pan'. With a colour frontispiece, and twenty-one colour plates. Illustrated by Hugh Thomson. Thomson was an Irish illustrator, who did pen-and-ink illustrations for editions of works by Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and J. M. Barrie. Collated, complete. In the original publisher's vellum binding with gilt decoration to the boards and spine. Externally, generally smart. Light marks and discolouration to the boards and spine, as is usual with vellum binding. Light spots to the spine. Lacking the ribbon tie to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Very Good Indeed
