Hard Cover. Condition: Good. Rackham, Arthur (illustrator). First Edition. Extra large 8" x10" x 2" illustrated design. 1910 at title page; stated Seventh Edition. Brick red full-cloth boards, bright gilt embossed cover design and flourishing spine titles, moderate cover wear, spine edge wear, rub. Cover depicts stylized titles and gilt design of Peter riding bucking goat w/large rounded horns. Thick heavy stock pages generally very good, few w/edge wear, discoloration. Antiquarian pictorial bookplate at front pastedown featuring b&w design of Baptistry Canterbury structures w/opened scroll below: "Ex Libris, Venice Dabell". Fountain pen signature to adjacent endpaper: "Mabel Dabell". Dark olive matte pictorial endpapers featuring Rackham's map of Peter's village. Dark tinted text block at all sides. Features fifty color plates by Arthur Rackham mounted on heavy stock dark matte leaves w/captioned tissue guards throughout the illlustrated latter half of volume. Bind good, intact. Large, intact and profusely illustrated early printing. In Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, J.M. Barrie first created Peter Pan as an infant, living a wild and secret life with birds and fairies in the middle of London. Later Barrie let this remarkable child grow a little older and he became the boy-hero of Neverland, making his first appearance with Wendy, Captain Hook, and the Lost Boys. Barrie's novel The Little White Bird of 1902 contains the first sketches for Peter Pan. The narrator is 'a gentle, whimsical, lonely old bachelor', an author by profession, whose ambition is to have a son. He meets a penniless young couple whose own son David fulfills his desire. The narrator explains that all children in our part of London were once birds in the Kensington Gardens. And, that the reason there are bars on nursery windows and a tall fender by the fire is because very little people sometimes forget that they no longer have wings, and try to fly away through the window or up the chimney. One such child, Peter Pan, escaped from being a human when he was seven days old and flew back to the Kensington Gardens. The Peter Pan stories were Barrie's only works for children, but as their persistent popularity shows, their themes of imaginative escape continue to charm even those who long ago left Neverland. Printed in Great Britain by T. and A. Constable, Printers to His Majesty at the University Press, Edinburgh. 127 pages. Insured post. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Seller Inventory # 021272

First Edition
Seller: MFR RARE BOOKS, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION THUS - frontispiece dated 1912. Leather-bound, presented in cloth-covered slipcase, hardcover, large format quarto (28cm x 21cm x 4.5cm), pp. 126 + 50 colour tipped-in plates. Bound in stunning full polished green calf by Bayntun (signed on the front endleaf with an ink pallet), the covers with a gilt border composed of two fillets, the spine divided into six panels with gilt compartments, lettered in the second and third on contrasting red and black goatskin labels, the others tooled with flowers and sprigs, the edges of the boards and turn-ins similarly ruled and tooled, all pages edges gilt, hand-marbled endpapers, beautifully illustrated by Arthur Rackham with 50 colour tipped-in plates - each with a captioned tissue-guard, plus 7 full-page black and white illustrations (including a map of Kensington Gardens), and 12 black and white illustrations within the text. Condition: FINE. An immaculate example without previous ownership markings - beautifully rebound by the famous Bayntun bindery. Scarce thus. Notes: An extremely attractive enlarged edition of Rackham's illustrations for Peter Pan, first published in 1906. However, this 'New' edition has the advantage of having the illustrations staggered throughout, as the story unfolds, rather than bound altogether at the rear, as well as the addition of a further seven black & white plates not featured in the original, a new colour frontispiece illustration of the eponymous Peter, dated 1912, as well as new typesetting and design for the pictorial title-page. Aesthetically, this 'best edition' is often preferred to the 1906 edition. Latimore & Haskell p. 40. Seller Inventory # MFR0121
