Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. by Lemuel Gulliver. Newly illustrated by Peter Suart. London: The Folio Society, 2011. Limited Edition. One of 1,000 numbered copies, each with an original signed copperplate etching of Lemuel Gulliver by the artist; this copy no. 102. Folio (12 3/4 x 9 5/8 inches; 324 x 245 mm.). [2, blank], [4, limitation statement and original signed etching], [2, blank], [1-6], 7-281, [4], [1, blank] pp. Seventeen tipped-in color plates, including frontispiece, by Peter Suart. Hand-bound by The Fine Book Bindery, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, in quarter white vellum over brown boards, elaborately blocked in gold, red, white, and black, smooth spine lettered in gilt, red decorative endpapers, top edge gilt. Housed in the original bronze cloth clamshell case, spine with orange paper label lettered in gilt. A mint, as new example. Peter Suart (b. 1954) is one of Britain's most distinctive contemporary illustrators, celebrated for his highly imaginative, finely detailed drawings of fantastical creatures and anthropomorphic animals. Working in a tradition that blends the whimsical with the grotesque, Suart's art recalls elements of the eighteenth-century satirical imagination while remaining entirely original in conception. His work - often produced in limited editions and incorporating original prints - has attracted a strong following among collectors of modern illustrated books. In this edition, Suart's intricate and often darkly humorous imagery proves ideally suited to the satirical brilliance of Jonathan Swift, capturing both the absurdity and the underlying bite of Gulliver's Travels with remarkable invention. A striking and imaginative modern interpretation of Swift's enduring satire, elevated by the inclusion of an original signed etching and executed to the highest standards of contemporary bookmaking. Among the more desirable Folio Society limited editions of recent decades, particularly in such pristine condition.
