A fabulous and unique example of this first edition. Beautiful P. RUBAN signed binding. Three quarters Morocco with an attractive art nouveau gilt design and titles to the spine. Green marbled boards. Fractional rubbing only to the binding. The finest element of the book, is an original water-colour to the half title page, by Van Muyden (signed) showing a couple looking out of their shuttered windows, with a collection of imps flying way on church bells. Numerous etching and letterpress illustrations in the text by Evert van Muyden. The original blue striped illustrated covers have been preserved in the binding. Internally in excellent condition throughout. Portrait-frontispiece of the author in etching and figures in text. Numbered copy on vergé du Marais. Total limitation is for 1000 copies, but no other will include this lovely binding or original illustration. The second tale takes place in Loches on Christmas Day. This may be the symbolism of the original water-colour, Untrimmed. 132 pages. 230 by 170mm (9 by 6¾ inches). Evert Louis van Muyden (18531922) was an engraver, illustrator and painter, born to Swiss parents. His two brothers were also artists. Although also a portraitist, he is remembered today primarily for his book illustrations, which remain popular. .
