Description:
The First UK printing of this illustrated edition by The Blackamore Press, London in 1928. This edition was the first to contain a full English version of the original text. The BOOK is in Very Good+ condition. Number '5' of only 25 copies on Japan vellum (There were also 250 copies on Rives vellum). There is splitting with some light rubbing along the spine folds especially to the rear lower halves but the binding remains very tight - This is more of a cosmetic issue. Light fading to the spine but the gilt titling to the spine and front remains bright. Top edge gilt. Internally clean with the frontispiece, title vignette, nine engravings in colour, and tailpieces by Alexandre Alexeieff. Preface by Prince D. Sviatopolk-Mirsky. 'The Queen of Spades' is an enduring classic of Golden Age Russian literature and provided the basis for Tchaikovsky's opera of the same title. This edition is wonderfully illustrated by Alexandre Alexieff (1901-1982), a Russian émigré who is most well known for his talents as… Read More

Description:
A miniature chapbook measuring 6.5 x 9cm. First published for the Christmas of 1942 by Faber, London. It was published for parents and relatives to send to children evacuated from cities as a little stocking filler. There are 8 pages which each contain a coloured image by Enid Marx and a line from a Nursery Rhyme which the child has to guess. The BOOK is in Very Good condition for its age and it being a cheap wartime production. Lightly marked and spotted in places. Single staple slightly rusted but a very scarce survivor, now protected in an archival folder. A delight ! Joe Pearson at Design For Today' has recently republished this title. Extremely scarce. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
