About this Item: William Heinemann and Doubleday, Page & Co, London and New York, 1928. Decorative Cloth. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. Arthur Rackham (illustrator). A fair copy in the original grey decorative cloth binding with designs and 34 tipped-in colour plates by Arthur Rackham. The binding has been rebacked - relaying the original spine and endpapers, so it is nice and tight. There is some bumping to the front top corner and the back board corners. The binding is very clean with some fading and browning to the spine. The original decorative endpapers are free of inscriptions - there is a little grubbiness - the back free endpaper has had a sheet of music pasted to the reverse - the music contains the motifs to Siegfried, the ring and other relevant sections. There is an ink inscription to a preliminary 'To Elizabeth for her "seventeenth" birthday - from Daddy and Mummie with our best love 19 Aug'. There is some spotting to preliminaries and the text pages have a brown tint especially to edges. This book is classed as 'fair' and priced cheaply because there is some damage to the plates. They are all present but 7 have slight creases - to the left bottom corner and 5 have very noticeable creases again mainly to the left corner. Three of the backing pages for the plates have small repaired paper tears to the edges. The plate opposite page 104 has a small spot of loss where the plate surface has come off onto the tissue guard. The backing plate for the final plate has very nibbled edges. There is the odd mark to pages but the contents are generally clean. Seller Inventory # 031461

Limited Collector's Edition. Easton Press Collector's Library of Famous Editions Translated by Margaret Armour Illustrated by Arthur Rackham Originals NOTES FROM THE ARCHIVES Two Volumes in one shipment: 1. The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie (VOLUME I OF THE RING OF THE NIBLUNG) 2. Siegfried and The Twilight of the Gods (VOLUME II OF THE RING OF THE NIBLUNG) About the Author Born in Germany on May 22, 1813, Richard Wagner went on to become one of the world's most influential, and controversial, composers. He is famous for both his epic operas, including the four-part, 18-hour Ring Cycle, as well as for his anti-semitic writings, which, posthumously, made him a favorite of Adolf Hitler. There is evidence that Wagner's music was played at the Dachau concentration camp to "re-educate" the prisoners. Wagner had a tumultuous love life, which involved several scandalous affairs. He died of a heart attack in Venice on February 13, 1883. A greenish twilight, lighter above than below. The upper part is filled with undulating water, which streams respectively from right to left. Towards the bottom the waves resolve themselves into a mist which grows finer as it descends, so that a space, as high as a mans body from the ground, appears to be quite free from the water, which floats like a train of clouds over the gloomy stretch below. Steep rocky peaks jut up everywhere from the depths, and enclose the entire stage. The ground is a wild confusion of jagged rocks, no part of it being quite level, and on every side deeper fisures are indicated by a still denser gloom. Woglinde circles with graceful swimming movements round the central rock. Siegfried & The Twilight of the Gods In the second part of Margaret Armour's translation of possibly Wagner's best-known work 'The Ring of the Nibelung', the last two opera's in the cycle, 'Siegfried' and 'The Twilight of the Gods', are reproduced with colour plates by Arthur Rackham. Rackham's hauntingly dark illustrations, are perfectly suited to the drama - an epic story that charts the struggles of gods, heroes and mythical creatures loosely based on characters from the Norse sagas. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1850s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality, colour editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children. About the Illustrator: Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) was one of the premier illustrators of the early 20th Century. He illustrated many books, the first of which was published in 1893. His humour, romance and soul made him the leading illustrator of the early twentieth century and his work is to be found in versions of almost every classic from Hansel and Gretel to The Tempest, from The Pied Piper to Peer Gynt. Characteristic of his work are gloomy forests of sinuous trees, nubile fairy maidens, and unsightly ogres and trolls. Throughout his career he developed a very individual style that was to influence a whole generation of children, artists and other illustrators. His haunting humour and dreamlike romance adds to the enchantment and fantasy of children's literature. The Rhinegold & The Valkyrie "The Rhinegold & The Valkyrie: The Ring of the Nibelung – Volume 1" is a modern (2011) English translation of the first 2. Seller Inventory # 480-200
