Description:
London: Phillip Allan & Co. Ltd., (1928). A quarto, 109 pages, bound in original tan cloth with dark red spine and paper labels. Aside from a trace of wear to the corners and a worn spine label, this is a fine copy of the First Edition. Two extra paper labels are tipped-in so the worn one on the spine can be easily replaced. Literary quotes from many poets and authors face photographic images of nude children depicting the text. The marriage of text and photographs captures the playful wonder and innocence of youth in a manner that would not be socially acceptable today. Boards slightly bowed else an exceptional copy of a modern classic.

Description:
Philadelphia: The John Winston Co,, (1898). A captivating collection of information about a broad array of things Parisian, with a nice introduction by Hilaire Belloc. Well-illustrated and with folding map bound in at the back. While this is certainly a nice addition to the body of information available on Paris, one of the most compelling reasons to add it to your collection is the lovely example of a publisher's binding. Green cloth with an elaborate gilt cover motif, top edge gilt. This copy is particularly extraordinary in that it retains its original green oil cloth dust wrapper, with gilt titled spine. To find a book of this vintage in the dust wrapper is most unusual. The dust wrappers were, indeed, wrappers to protect the book from dust. There is no advertisement..no cover art..nothing. Just heavy oil cloth with a title to protect a beautiful book. Housed in original dark green slipcase.

Description:
London: Ellis and Elvey, 1895. Beautifully bound in 3/4 leather over cloth. An octavo of 380 pages with a preface writtend by the author's brother, William Michael Rossetti. The binding, signed by Hatchards of Piccadilly, has a very strong Arts and Crafts influence in both the font and placement of the gilt spine title as well as broad flat bands separating the spine panels. Top edge gilt. The leather has uniformly faded from an olive green to a warm butterscotch tan. The evidence of fading is so slight that it is likely to go unnoticed by most observers. An exquisite binding and a most satisfying addition to a collection of literature relating to the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

Description:
An octavo, bound in original olive green cloth with gilt spine title and pictorial pastedown on the upper cover. Jessie King did the illustrations for this book by taking her watercolors and paper with her early in the morning to capture the play of light on the Seine. It was first published by Gowan and Gray in 1911, with the French language edition following in 1912. There were only 1,000 copies of the book printed, far fewer with the French text than the English. Eighteen color plates by King capture her affection for the city she and E.A. Taylor loved nearly as much as their village home of Kirkcudbright. There is some light browning and foxing, else a fine copy of a scarce title. The color cover illustration, different than the one used on the English edition, was lacking and has been supplied in facsimile. The book beautifully captures the artist's unique combination of technical skill and romantic whimsy. (White, 92, describing only a French text edition in paper wrappers).
