About This Item
London: Macmillan and Co., Limited , 1912 A very good copy of the limited Edition du Lux of which 150 copies were issued. In the original full vellum binding with gilt decoration and titles to the front board and spine. Top page edges gilted; remainder untrimmed. With tipped in frontispiece and 31 colour tipped-in plates by Warwick Goble. Goble (1862-1943) had become a resident illustrator at Macmillan and this is one of finest works. Contents are complete and in near fine clean condition. Endpapers have some browning. There is the occasional small pinprick spot in the text and some spotting on the uncut edges of the text pages. Plates are mounted on brown stock paper and are in lovely condition. The binding has lost its ties and there is some pocking to the vellum, slight marking and some scuffs. There is light pulling to spine ends and some wear to corners. The gilt decoration is still bright. Please enquire if you would like to see additional images.
