First Edition
Decorative Cloth. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Arthur Rackham (illustrator). 1st Edition. A good to very good copy of this classic work with 24 colour plates, 12 tinted plates and numerous illustrations by Arthur Rackham. 1st edition thus. Rackham first illustrated Ingoldsby Legends in 1898 using a smaller format and without tipped in colour plates. He revisited the work in 1907 adding plates and redrawing some of the other illustrations. The subject matter, including as it does witches, spectres, knights and monks (and a finally repentant Jackdaw), is well suited to Rackham's style. The decorative binding is in clean and tight condition with slight pulling to the spine and a very small bump to the bottom corner of the back board. There is some light ink marking, more prevalent on the back board but with a few spots to the front. Top page edges gilted; remainder untrimmed. Internally the dark green decorative endpapers are present without mark. There is an inscription to the half title. Contents are complete, clean and in very good condition. There is a small crease to the frontispiece plate and a small nick out of the bottom edge of p xiii. There is occasional light foxing - to the half title; the tissue guard to the frontispiece and in the gutter of the tinted plates. There is some spotting at the untrimmed page edges. Please enquire if you would like to see additional images.
