Gulliver's Travels.

First edition thus: the drawings had originally appeared in the 1899 edition - from the publishers' Note: ''Most of the designs appeared as line drawings in an edition issued by the present publishers in 1899, but they have been worked over, revised, and coloured by the artist, while some entirely new designs have been added.'' Royal octavo. pp xvi, 291. Decorated olive green cloth gilt. Twelve colour plates as well as drawings in the text and pictorial endpapers by Arthur Rackham. Top edge gilt.Contemporary (1909) gift inscription on front pastedown. Free endpapers tanned. Faint mark to rear cover. Very good indeed.
