Top page edges gilted; remainder untrimmed. Brickdale (1872-1945) was one of the most successful artists of the Edwardian period - painting in both watercolour and oils, working in stained glass, producing sculpture and illustrating a number of colour-plate books. She is remembered as the last of the late Pre-Raphaelite painters and her book illustrations tell stories with vibrant use of colour, costumed figures, and beautiful settings. This copy of Idylls is in a newer solander box with title label. The box is sound and clean with light scuffing to the surface, edges and corners. The book has a very clean binding with bright decoration. There is slight surface scuffing and a small ripple to the top of the front board and scuffing at the top of the spine (where there are a couple of short dark lines). Some of the gilt on the front spine joint is rubbed. The back board has a couple of scuffs and a few light spots and the corners are lightly turned inwards. The ties are missing. Contents: decorative endpapers (a sword design); signed limitation page; half title; guarded tipped-in frontispiece; title; illustration list; half title; text 174 pp with half titles to each section and 20 further tipped in colour plates with captionned guards.
