Sobre este artículo
London: Hodder & Stoughton A very good boxed copy of the 1st trade edition in the original decorative cloth binding with 23 tipped-in colour plates, black and white illustrations and designs by Edmund Dulac. Undated but 1914. Unusually this copy is in its original box and wrap. The box has titles and a pasted plate to the top of the lid and titles to the side. It has some browning and a little grubbiness and some repair at corners. The book is in its original film wrap. The light brown cloth binding has a printed flower design (which continues on the endpapers) overlaid with gilt decoration and titles on the front board and spine. This copy has bright decoration to the front board with light corner wear and a couple of very small marks. The spine is bright with light wear to spine ends. The back board is bright with a small spot and light wear to corners. There is some spotting to the foredge and darkening to bottom page edges. Internally, the floral endpapers are unmarked. Contents: frontispiece; decorative title; illustration list and text with 22 further colour plates. All the text pages have a decorative border. There are 2 inscriptions to the half title page. Contents are very clean and bright. They are slightly shaken with stitching visible at p113. There is some browning around the stitching at the final page listing illustrations and p1; and on the bottom stitch at p 44/5 and 132/3. The tissue guard to plate at p 48 has a light crease. There is a small mark to the side edge of pp 186-191 and final leaves, and the bottom edge of p 222. There is a small nick to the bottom of the tissue guard at p 200.
