Very good plus.
Description
London: Macmillan & Co, 1894. Very good plus.. First edition of these Irish verses about fairies, with beautiful Art Nouveau designs by Housman carrying distinct notes of Beardsley's style. Housman scholar Rodney K. Engen calls this Housman's "first important fairy illustration commission" and ranks it "among his best known work" - though such avant-garde fairies came as a bit of a shock to a Victorian audience used to twee Little Folk, with one contemporary review calling Housman's versions "too much like ill-fed human beings" (Saturday Review, 6 April 1895). In addition to Aubrey Beardsley, Housman also drew inspiration from the designs of Charles Ricketts. Like his earlier commissioned work, Christina Rossetti's GOBLIN MARKET, he designed the unusual long and thin size of this volume specifically to accommodate the length of Barlow's verses, a format that would become characteristic among fin-de-siècle book designers. Octavo. 7'' x 4.25''. Original light brown cloth elaborately stamped in gilt with design by Housman. All edges gilt. Illustrated by Housman with pictorial title page, 8 full-page illustrations, and several illustrations in-text. [4], 77, [1] pages. Offsetting to endpapers, some cracking to rear hinge but holding firm, interior largely clean. Gilt a little rubbed in top left corner of front board, spine slightly toned.

Description
[Paris]: Hachette, 1920. Very good.. Rare French fantasy picture book about children who travel by balloon to the moon. Three children receive a warm welcome on the fantastical moon world. In a very French take on the moon voyage, the climax of activity is baking moon-themed treats. After little moon creatures destroy their balloon, the Mistress of the Moon sends them home in a parachute. The vividly stylized illustrations pair with minimalist sentences with surprising storytelling force. OCLC locates only one institutional holding (the BnF). 12'' x 9.5''. Original color pictorial wrappers. Illustrated in color on every page, including versos of wrappers. Text in French. [8] pages. Spine repaired; covers dusty and soiled around the margins.
