About This Item
London: George G. Harrap & Company Limited, 1923. First Edition. Quarter Vellum over Boards. Very Good/Good. A futuristic journey that was from its very conception sweetly moored in the misty past! 4to. 31 by 24 cm. 48 pp and 48 tipped-in (or mounted) color plates. The singular story and its illustrations are truly sui generis; the fabulous concoction of fantasy rendered here draws equally from both the text and illustrations. Condition: corners bumped, with paper pastedown a bit rubbed. Edgewear to lower edges. A hint of starting, front upper joint. Quarter vellum quite clean and bright. Leaves of card (the backing for the pastedowns) have a slight waviness, as typical of this book. Plates, both text and pictorial, clean. DJ has been rebacked, with most of DJ spine preserved and mounted -- see photos. Minor losses to DJ over boards. Some stains, crease lines, and other signs of wear on DJ. DJ, though, a truly rare survivor in any form, and this DJ has maintained its essential integrity.
