About This Item
E P Dutton, 1922. 1st US Edition. Hardcover. VG+/VG+. FISH, Anne Harriet. 1st US Edition illustrated by Fish. 23.2 x 29.2 cm 4to., black cloth spine over orange black and cream paper covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. Cream and orange paisley designed endpapers. Edges uncut, 108pp black and orange decorated initial letter to each stanza with 20 colour images in the Art Deco style with silver and gold highlights by Anne Fish, all with tissue guards. The book comes with its scarce original dust jacket. The boards are very good plus with a little bruising to the corners and a hint of shelfwear to the bottom edge. The gilt titles on the spine are a touch faded. Internally, there is no name inscription or book plate, the patterned front free endpaper has been removed at some point in the past and has now been professionally replaced with a copy. The images are all in fine condition and there is just a hint of spotting to the uncut edges. The dust jacket now protected by a removable clear cover (not shown in the images) and is extremely complete considering its age. A little marked and with a very little chipping to the upper joints and to the corners. All in all a very nice copy of this extremely beautiful edition in a very scarce dust jacket. We have additional images on file ready to send. Rainford & Parris Books welcomes enquiries, so please do not hesitate to ask if you require further images or have any questions. All books are packaged with great care.
