In-8° grande (25.5x20) pp. 232, legatura editoriale tutta tela azzurra con titolo e con tralci di rose in oro al piatto. Dorso con titolo e piccola figura di rosa impressi in oro, taglio di testa dorato. Sovraccoperta illustrata a colori da Arthur Rackham, cui si debbono le sguardie figurate in verde e in bianco, le illustrazioni in b.n. nt. e f.t. e le 12 tavv. a colori f.t., una delle quali all'antiporta. Frontespizio in rosso e nero con vignetta in tinta rossa dello stesso Rackham. Stato di nuovo. Prima edizione americana con le tavole di Rackham del capolavoro di Oliver Goldsmith, The Vicar of Wakefield, uno dei più famosi romanzi settecenteschi, apparso primamente nel 1766. Di intonazione prevalentemente didascalico-sentimentale, il libro, che conobbe immensa fortuna in tutta Europa, rimane il prototipo del romanzo borghese dell'Inghilterra del XVIII secolo. Arthur Rackham (Londra, 1867-nel Surrey, 1939), acquerellista, pittore, illustratore dal tratto delicato e fascinoso, è noto soprattutto per le tavole destinate ad alcuni classici della letteratura (e della musica): Alice in Wonderland, la Tetralogia di Wagner, Peter Pan, i racconti di Poe, le fiabe di Andersen, Rip Van Winkle, etc. Latimore-Haskell, p.65. Riall, p. 170. Su Rackham cfr. Bénézit, VIII, 569. Thieme-Becker, XXVII. Inglese.…
