Description

London: Grant Richards, 1903 22 full page chromolithograph plates plus chromo frontispiece. Exceptional illustrations and an extremely rare children's book. Plates are very large, folio (c, 32 x 25 cm.) in a clear, almost naive style. Chromolithography by Thos. N. Storer, Nottingham. Kidd was an artist at the beginning of the 20th century but he was not that prolific - the British Library only has three books illustrated by him. 94 pages - layout with plate facing text and then blank pages in between. Specific condition: Binding: The spine has been replaced with a new backstrip and the original end papers intact. Corners worn and paper cover has been torn off in two places on rear cover. Generally grubby on the outside. Interior: A few minor tears repaired with archival tape and the occasional grubby mark, othewise very good. Note: Due to the size of the book the photo scan provided is a composite of two halves which makes the image appear a bit dis-jointed.. First Edition. Pictorial Cover. Very Good. Illus. by Will Kidd. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.
