Sobre este artículo
London: Adam and Charles Black, 1907. First Edition. 8vo. Green cloth with front cover stamped in black with art deco design and spine stamped in gold with same design. Fine condition.. No one who has the itch for book-collecting will deny that suppressed book illustrations are, what the forbidden fruit was to our mother Eve, irresistible. Whether such appetite represents the very proper ambition to have at his elbow the earliest states of beautiful or interesting books, of which the subsequently suppressed plate or wood engraving is in general a sort of guarantee, or the less defensible desire to possess what our neighbour does not, must be settled by the conscience of each. The fact remains that such rarities are peculiarly alluring to those whom Wotton calls "the lickerish chapmen of all such ware." . . .. . . Table of contents: THe Marquis of Steyne; The Suppressed Portrait of Dickens; Dickens Cancelled Plates; Etchings and Wood Engravings by George Cruikshank; Hogarth's "Enthusiasm Delineated", "The Man of Taste," and "Don Quixote"; Cancelled designs for Punch and Once a Week by Charles Keene and Frederick Sandys. The Suppressed Omar Khayyam etching; Adapted or Palimpsest Plates.
