About this Item
Description:
Signed limited edition, number 527 of 850 copies signed by the artist of which this is one of 525 copies printed on handmade paper and bound in cloth-backed boards. This limited edition includes a full-page illustration that was not reproduced in the trade issue comprising a three-colour silhouette of Cinderella and the pumpkin, facing the first chapter. This copy has had an additional paper covering skilfully added to the front and rear boards, with a window cut for the original front board lettering vignette. The addition of a collector's slipcase completes a most presentable copy. "Admirable. are the spirited black and coloured silhouettes of Cinderella. They are by Mr Arthur Rackham, and we need say no more; they will be the delight of many. This book gives the story of Cinderella at full length, and is quite an ideal Christmas gift" (Saturday Review of Politics, Literature, Science and Art).
