Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Nielsen, Kay (illustrator). First Edition. First Studio-Viking Edition. First published by Viking in 1981 (A Studio Book). Reproduction from extremely rare donated example to Metropolitan Museum of Art of original Hodder & Stoughton, London, deluxe gift book design of 1924. Blue boards w/patterned embossed crowns, green cloth spine wrap, gilt stamped spine titles, moderate shelf wear. Heavy stock pages fine. Bind fine; hinges intact, ft. starting. Twelve color plates with captions along w/more than thirty monotone illustrations. Brilliant color images were prepared with integrated formal and informal borders; the informal borders are displayed in mille fleur.

Initiated by Nielsen in 1912 and first published in 1924. Hodder & Stoughton resumed publishing gift books w/illustrious artistic design, decoration and fine bindings in effort to resume this genre following World War I. Considered one of Hodder & Stoughton's very best designs from the Golden Age of Illustration, and in the most rare and desirable oversize form. Kay Rasmus Nielsen is regarded, with Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac, as a master of gift book illustration. He was born in Copenhagen of distinguished theatrical parents in 1886. In 1904, after considering a medical career, he left for Paris to pursue his passion for art, studying under J. P. Laurens at the Académie Julian. His greatest influences as a student were the Japanese woodcuts of Hokusai and Utamaro, and the black and white decorative line work of Aubrey Beardsley. He was lured from the profession of book illustration by Walt Disney, for whom he became an animator in 1939. Nielsen remained in Hollywood working as an actor, director, designer and muralist until passing in 1957. Printed in the USA w/color plates printed in Japan by Dai Nippon Printing, Co., Tokyo. 155 pages. Insured post. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Book.

Condition: Fine. Edition deluxe. Number 242 of 500 copies numbered and signed by the artist, a nearly Fine copy. Large quarto (12 3/16 x 9 7/8 inches; 310 x 250 mm.). [x], 11-197, [3, blank] pp. Text with decorative borders and initials. Twelve mounted color plates with captioned tissue guards and numerous black and white text illustrations including seventeen full-page.

On the lower edge of the front cover there is a small 1/4 inch abrasion to the vellum, complete with the publisher's blue cloth dust jacket, spine pictorially stamped in gilt, and the original plain cream paper dust jacket (slightly worn at extremities). Danish illustrator and designer Kay Nielsen (1886-1957) "was drawn early on to fairy tales and illustrated many volumes for Hodder & Stoughton: In Powder and Crinoline (1913), East of the Sun, West of the Moon (1914), Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales (drawings completed in 1912, but first published in 1924), Hansel and Gretel (1925), and Red Magic (Jonathan Cape, 1930), a collections of fairy tales from around the world. Nielsen's designs unite strong linearity with delicate colouring. Characterized by a sense of two-dimensional flatness, Nielsen's objects and people are highly stylized: foxglove blossoms hang in measured asymmetry; princes and princesses stand on improbably long legs; and their garments billow in gravity-defying parabolas. The power of his illustrations lies in his uncanny ability to retrieve a story's emotional effect on its reader and to recreate it visually in two dimensions" (The Oxford Companion to Fairy Tales). Fine.
