About this Item

Signed limited edition, number 526 of 575 copies signed by the artist for the UK market alongside an additional 200 copies for the US. Originally published in 1766, Goldsmith's masterpiece was among the most popular novels of its age and it remains a classic of English literature. A contemporary review in The Bookman stated, "seldom have we seen such a beautiful edition of The Vicar as is this latest production, to which Mr. Arthur Rackham has brought the fruits of his rare and admirable talent. It would have been difficult to find another artist so perfectly fitted to interpret Oliver Goldsmith's little masterpiece. The format is very charming and at the same time dignified. a volume of real value". Latimore & Haskell, p. 65; Riall, p. 170. The Bookman, December 1929. Quarto. Colour frontispiece and 11 colour plates, black and white illustrations in the text, all by Rackham. Original vellum, spine lettered and with floral device in gilt, front cover with triple rule enclosing gilt lettering, pictorial endpapers, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed and largely unopened. Some light soiling to spine, occasional light browning: a very good copy.
