Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Limited edition printed on Japanese vellum. Copy No. 146 of 160 copies (150 of which were for public sale). Size: 9 3/4" x 6 3/8" (thus an inch and a quarter taller than the regular trade edition [8.5 " X 6.5 "]). Crushed cognac Moroccan with onlays of green (snakeheads) and red (eye…s). Tooled turn-ins (crescent moons in each corner) and blue watered silk endpapers. Flatback spine in the manner of the Doves Bindery. Housed in a linen clamshell box. Expert repair to lower front hinge. Exquisitely hand coloured throughout by Gloria Cardew, with her label affixed to the verso of the front free endpaper. A spectacular binding from the exceptional but regrettably short-lived Hampstead Bindery (1898-1902). Signed [ink stamped] by the Bindery. The striking intertwined vipers design is almost certainly the work of the Bindery's chief designer, Alfred de Sauty (1870-1949), who later managed the Extra Bindery at R. R. Donnelley Co. and the Cuneo Bindery in Chicago. The serpent motif alludes to one of the volume's stories, "The Soothsayer's Son", which features the snake-king. Thus, an extraordinarily early example of a modern design binding. The Hampstead Bindery was established by the bookseller Frank Karslake (1851-1920), who also established the Guild of Women-Binders. In addition, Karslake acted as the colourist, Gloria Cardew's agent. Gloria Cardew was a prominent hand-colourist of book illustration, primarily associated with the Guild of Women-Binders, together with the Kelmscott and Vale Presses. The editor, Joseph Jacobs (1854-1916), was one of the most popular writers of fairytales in the English language. Jacobs was an Australian folklorist, translator, literary critic, social scientist, historian and writer of English literature who became a notable collector and publisher of English folklore. His work went on to popularize some of the world's best-known versions of English fairy tales including "Jack and the Beanstalk", "Goldilocks and the three bears", "The Three Little Pigs", "Jack the Giant Killer" and "The History of Tom Thumb". He published his English fairy tale collections: English Fairy Tales in 1890 and More English Fairy Tales in 1893. He also published fairy tales collected from continental Europe as well as Jewish, Celtic and Indian fairytales. A number of the tales in Jacobs' collection are based on or related to Jataka tales. Part of the canon of sacred Buddhist literature, these stories depict earlier incarnations (both human and animal) of Siddhartha Gautama, the future Buddha. The illustrator, John Dickson Batten (8 October 1860 - 5 August 1932), was born in Plymouth, Devon, and was an English painter of figures in oils, tempera and fresco and a book illustrator and printmaker. An extraordinary example of Arts & Crafts bookmaking, in design, illustration and binding.
