Sobre este artículo
London: William Heinemann; Doubleday Page & Co., New York,, 1909. First trade edition, first impression, this copy handsomely bound by the leading British bookbinders Bayntun-Riviere. This publication "was still another step forward for Rackham, the unity of conception in the line drawings and the colour plates, and the assertion of contrast in the moods of the heroine, rendered it a masterpiece of sympathetic understanding" (Hudson, p. 80). The fairy tale of Undine, a water spirit who marries a human knight to acquire an immortal soul, was first published in German in 1811. Quarto (239 x 176 mm). Mid 20th-century dark blue morocco by Bayntun (Rivière), spine with raised bands, lettering and elaborate gilt decoration in compartments, double gilt fillet frame on covers, gilt design of lilies, lily pads, and fish, board edges and turn ins tooled in gilt, marbled endpapers, edges gilt. Colour frontispiece and 14 colour plates each mounted on plain paper in a grey printed frame with captioned tissue guards, title page printed in green and black, black and white drawings in the text. Spine slightly faded, a few spots of faint foxing to contents, otherwise clean. A very good copy. Latimore & Haskell, pp. 34-5; Riall, pp. 93-4. Derek Hudson, Arthur Rackham, His Life and Work, 1975.
