| QUILLER-COUCH, ARTHUR; ILLUSTRATED BY KAY NIELSEN. In Powder and Crinoline: Old Fairy Tales. London:, Hodder & Stoughton,, No date [1913]., First Edition, Hardcover.

Illustrated by 26 tipped in color plates by Kay Nielsen with captioned tissue guards (the trade edition had 24). Top edge gilt, others untrimmed. This was the Danish illustrator's first book upon moving to England in 1911 and the idea and design were his. Dalby, Golden Age, p. 89-90. Horne, p. 334. The style is suggestive of the Middle East, but very original. This production is sumptuous. The untrimmed edges are a bit soiled; the endpapers are lightly soiled and very lightly foxed; the front fixed endpaper is rippled at the edge from the bowing to the front cover. While this bowing is moderately severe, this behavior is typical in this dry climate. The vellum may very well relax a bit in higher humidity. The covers are lightly extremity worn; the front cover has two dime-sized spots of fading (source unknown), and the back cover has some surface scratches and a deeper scratch (more likely a bump) of about an inch long. Otherwise a clean, sound copy. Very Good. USD 5277.80 [Appr.: EURO 3520.5 | £UK 3172 | JP¥ 465805] Book number: 12108 Click here to order or inquire at The Gallagher Collection. | ||
