About this Item
Description:
#16 of 1300, numbered but not signed. With 16 mounted, tissue-guarded color plates and nine drawings by Arthur Rackham. Two color plates for each of the eight stories, with additional black and white drawings. In French. Stories include Snowdrop, The Three Wishes, The Miserable King, Little Red Riding Hood, The Invisible Masters, The Golden Rain, The Princess With Two Faces and Simplette. The first 300 copies of this edition were accompanied by an extra set of plates. As #16 this should be from this portion of the edition, but it lacks the extra plates. With the extra plates this commands two to nearly three times our price, and some booksellers seem unaware their copies lack the plates. Translated by Charles Guyot. The plates are taken from earlier Rackham editions of Little Brother and Little Sister, (1917, six color plates); Snowdrop and Other Tales by the Brothers Grimm (1920, seven color plates); Hansel & Grethel and Other Tales by the Brothers Grimm (1920, three color plates). This represents a unique new compilation, along with a completely different design including text borders and typographical devices. The last two stories above first appeared in Fairy Tales by the Brothers Grimm, in 1909. Thus there is no English-language edition matching this compilation, though both the classic references (Latimore and Haskell 53, Riall 140) list it as the French edition of Snowdrop and Other Tales. Neither of these references include data on the first 300 copies with the extra suite; that is only stated in the book itself. Reinforcing how popular Rackham was, even after the peak of the Golden Age of Illustration, this was nonetheless done as a finely printed limited edition to celebrate the fine work within. H. Piazza was one of the premier publishers of his day, and the printing here is most likely superior to that of the plates as done in England. Original paper wraps illustrated in two color, protected by pebbled fabric spine-chemise with marbled papers inside and out. Slight fraying at chemise spine. This in turn is within a custom slipcase with matching pebbled cloth and different marbling on the paper-covered sides. This slipcase is near very good, with some wear along the spine.

Sixteen tipped-in color plates with descriptive tissue-guards (duplicate suite bound in), seven full-page drawings and and several textual drawings in black and white. A handsome book in a beautiful binding. Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) is perhaps the most acclaimed and influential illustrators of the Golden Age of Illustration. A prolific artist even from his youth, Rackham got his start as an illustrator working for the Westminster Budget Newspaper (1892). Over the next few years, he took on more and more commissions for children's books, hitting his career high in the first three decades of the twentieth century. Rackham turned his imaginative pen to every classicfrom Shakespeare to Dickens to Poe. First edition in French, translated by Charles Guyot, of the Rackham-illustrated Little Brother and Little Sister, (1917, six color plates); Snowdrop and Other Tales by the Brothers Grimm (1920, seven color plates); Hansel & Grethel and Other Tales by the Brothers Grimm (1920, three color plates); Snowdrop and Hansel & Grethel constitute a reprint of Fairy Tales by the Brothers Grimm (1909, illustrated with forty color plates by Rackham). Le Printemps Sur La Neige et d'Autres Contes du Bon Vieux Temps contains eight stories from those three earlier editions in a volume with a completely different design including text borders and typographical devices, this copy including an extra set of the sixteen color plates. Marcel Albinhac was the son and successor of Alexandre Abinhac of 41 rue Madame in Paris. The Stories: 1. Le Printemps Sur Le Neige (Snowdrop) 2. Les Trois Désirs (The Three Wishes) 3. Le Roi De Mérchante Humeur (The Miserable King) 4. La Petite-Fille Du Chaperon Rouge (Little Red Riding Hood) 5. Les Maitres Invisibles(The Invisible Masters) 6. La Pluie D'Or (The Golden Rain) 7.
