Description
London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1906. First edition. Near Fine. One of 500 copies, numbered and signed by the artist (this being copy 77). Large quarto (273 x 225 mm). xii, 125, [1] pp. Color frontispiece and forty-nine color plates (collected at the end of the text) mounted on heavy brown paper, with descriptive tissue guards. Four black and white drawings (two on the title and one each on p. 1 and p. 14). Publisher's vellum over boards pictorially stamped and lettered in gilt on front cover and spine, top edge gilt, others untrimmed, silk ties replaced. Endpapers of the same heavy brown paper with map of Kensington Gardens on front free endpaper. Housed in a fleece-lined, three-quarter tan morocco clamshell case, spine with five raised bands, decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments. A bit of foxing to edges. A bright, Near Fine copy. In the more lighthearted chapters of his novel The Little White Bird (1902), J.M. Barrie introduced the world to the timeless character of Peter Pan. Those chapters are reissued here, beautifully illustrated by Arthur Rackham. It was one of the great successes of his career: Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens "was the book which first made Rackham's work famous" (The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature). Arthur Rackham (1867 - 1939) is perhaps the most acclaimed and influential illustrator of the Golden Age of Illustration. A prolific artist even from his youth, Rackham got his start as an illustrator working for the Westminster Budget Newspaper in 1892. Over the next few years, he took on more and more commissions for children's books, hitting his career high in the first three decades of the twentieth century. Rackham turned his imaginative pen to every classic - from Shakespeare to Dickens to Poe. Latimore and Haskell, p. 27. Riall, p. 74. Near Fine.
