About This Item
London, Paris & Melbourne: Cassell & Co: Ltd., 1891. A slim quarto bound in original cream colored cloth over pictorial paper covered boards, 40 pages, plus six page publisher's catalogue bound in at the back. Each page is illustrated in delicate colors by Walter Crane, printed on one side only on French fold sheets. These fragile books, many of which were intended to be parted and used in decorative screens and friezes, are usually found in compromised condition, including heavy soiling and foxing. This copy has not wholly escaped the troubles of its companions, with general overall soiling to both covers and spine as well as some wear to the extremities, particularly the corners. The lime green, terra cotta and cream cover designs are in satisfactory condition and the contents are exceptionally clean and bright, totally free from foxing or stains. The salmon colored patterned endleaves are also bright, with the charming bookplate of Birmingham School artist H. Isabel Adams affixed to the front pastedown. A very pleasing association copy of a beautiful book from one of the leaders of the British Arts and Crafts movement.
