The Arthur Rackham Fairy Book, 1942 First Edition ~ Facsimile Dust Jacket

Description: The illustrations are new and have never been published before, though in the case of several of the stories this is not the first time it has fallen to my lot to illustrate them, in the thirty years and more that my work has led me through enchanted lands. Here we offer the first edition, 5th printing, of The Arthur Rackham Fairy Book, published by George G. Harrap, London, in 1942. Features numerous illustrations of Britain's most revered fairy tales, including 8 full-color plates. The book comes wrapped in the highest quality facsimile of the first edition dust jacket you can only get here, digitally remastered and printed on coated heavyweight bond. The polymer coating on the paper ensures the brightest colors and sharpest prints, as the ink sits atop the paper rather than being absorbed into the fibers. Boards are edgeworn and faded a bit on the spine (please see pics.) Uninscribed, intact endpapers. The first half of the book has a bit of moisture wrinkling, Hinges are very secure. The binding is very tight and square and the text and illustrations are very bright and crisp. 287 pages. The book measures approximately 8.75 x 5.75-inches. Dust jacket comes secured in a ph-neutral mylar sleeve, ready to slip into your collection. This classic first will make a delightful addition to your collection.
