Sobre este artículo
London: Frederick Warne & Co. , Ltd.. Very Good. Hardcover. 53 p. 12.5 x 10.5 cm. No date. Likely a 1920's reprint of the first book form edition. Lists Cecily Parsley on rear endpaper (published 1922) but does not list Pig Robinson on either endpaper (1930). Sound and square binding with brown/grey paper over boards. Titles stamped in brown. Circular paste-down on upper board. The book has wear to the head of spine with some loss and splitting along edges. Spine is darkened. Corners have wear and are lightly bumped. Edges have lighter wear. Minor soiling to both boards. There is a bit of soiling to the front endpapers and half-title page and slight evidence of an erasure on front free endpaper. Inside pages bright, with a few minor smudge marks. Illustrated in colour by Beatrix Potter. .
Sinopsis
To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter's works as their guide. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques. The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. But whatever the tale, both children and adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter's illustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read. Because they have always been completely true to a child's experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure.
