About this Item

A handsome copy of the 1909 reworked and expanded edition, with the 12 Arthur Rackham color plates. Clean and Near Fine in its contemporary-to-the-period, dark-green, full-morocco binding (by Frost of Bath, England -- so stamped at the top of the front free endpaper's verso). Bright gilt-tooling along the spine, within the compartments. 2 offsetting leather title labels as well. Gilt-bordering along the panels. Internally very clean, with no writing or markings of any kind. The original appearance of the Rackham illustrations was 1900 and this elegant edition --reworked and expanded-- followed 9 years later. Thick octavo, all edges gilt, lovely gilt-decorated dentelles. The original cloth covers bound in at the rear as well.
