About This Item
New York: Oxford University Press, 1926. Copyright 1926, most likely first American edition. With 15 tipped on Art Nouveau color plates by Pogany and additional full page line drawings. Green cloth with gilt spine lettering, decorative endpapers, 10.25" tall, 196 pages, no dustjacket, possibly as issued. Light shelf soil and edge rubbing to the covers, good hinges, sound text block, clean pages with a 1928 gift notation, child's bookplate and name inside the front cover, child's name written on verso of front free endpaper. Plates are in very good condition, with the top edges of a few of the backing pages a little wavy (probably from the process used to tip on the plates), portions of three of the line drawings neatly colored in with pastel colored crayons, tiny tears to the edges of two leaves, chipping to the inner margin of one leaf that does not affect the text. . Hard Cover. Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
