About This Item
New York & London:: Frederick Warne & Co,, 1906 [December].. Second printing.. Hardcover. Very Good. Grey wallet from which story folds out in a continuous strip. Story complete, folds good. Faint soiling to some openings, and minor damp adhesion damage to the white and green edge at the first opening. Former ownership name in pencil to back of final opening. Printed inner surface of front cover is scratched. The grey cloth-covered card wallet is printed in navy and bears a pasted-on illustration of Miss Moppet: part of the top of the illustration had been torn off: the image has now been restored (as in picture restoration), as have the inner joints of the wallet, and the tab which slots in to close it. A very nice firm copy.
Synopsis
To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter's works as their guide. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques. The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. But whatever the tale, both children and adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter's illustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read. Because they have always been completely true to a child's experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure.
