THE FABLES OF AESOP

(London: Hodder and Stoughton, [1909]).

A VERY PLEASING COPY AND QUITE SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. These illustrations represent, in our opinion, Detmold's very best work. Their grace and sensitivity reflect a certain Eastern sensibility. The artist s powers in the delicate communication of nature s spirit are exemplified by these wonderful paintings, rich with the wide variety of the colours in the spectrum. Item #25975

First edition. Illustrated with 23 tipped-in color plates by Edward J. Detmold. 4to, publisher's original tan cloth, the upper cover with an elaborate pictorial decoration of a falcon in red with lettering in green, the spine gilt lettered with decorative tool in red. xvi, 152 pp. A very nice copy, free of the inevitable browning to the endpapers. The binding attractive and sound, hinges fine and firm, the plates bright and pleasing.
