About This Item
London/ Philadelphia: Gibbings & Company Ltd/ J. B. Lippincott, 1896. 1st Edition Thus. Soft cover. Near Fine. Printed in England for both US and U K distribution. Beautifully preserved Art& Crafts-designed production of the Arabian tales. Small 8vo, light green cloth, boldly-stamped titles in darker green and blue front covers w/ more and gilt to spine. Brangwyn's full page illustrations are in duotone, but the real graphic wallop is in the cover design and extra title page design, which we suspect is attributable to an artist, whom we cannot identify, other than Brangwyn. A wonderful period piece. A collectible set - no names, inscriptions or bookplates and desirable thus.
