Soft Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Jessie M. King; Charles Robinson, et al. (illustrator). [Presumed Second Edition]. Presumed second edition. Soft cover chapbook, (3 x 6 inches), 36 unnumbered pages, in second variant cover of Japanese vellum wraps with yapp edges over card, contents printed on art paper, with the Glasgow-born Scottish Graphic Artist Jessie M. King's (1875-1949) line-drawn cover illustration in gold, blue, orange and black, with the artist's signature vertically down the design's lower right corner. Also has King's artwork upon the double endpapers, printed in three colors, of a girl dancing on a hillside, also with similar signature to wraps. This is a RARE mis-binding of the contents, given the text is for a completely different booklet, selected verses from the love poetry of The Rubyaiat of Omar Khayyam. Also has black and white halftone illustrations by the Artist Charles Robinson. Condition: Fine. Wraps Fine. King bibliographer Colin White presumed the mis-binding was due to an inattentive apprentice at the printer's plant. (A Guide to the Printed Works of Jessie M.
