A propos de cet article

First Edition. Crown 8vo (190 mm); (x), 102, (4) pp. Eight tipped-in colour plates by Alfred Rawlings with thirty-six designs in verdigris by Warrington Hogg. Original pictorial boards, designed by Jessie M. King in her signature style in red, green, grey and yellow; lettering in black to front cover and in gilt to spine; top edge gilt, fore-edge rough-cut; dust-jacket with colour illustrated panel on the front, chipped in one corner, jacket also chipped at head and tail of the spine and in a few minor places around edges. This is a special, Graingerized (extra-illustrated) copy, as six other pictures (with descriptions) of sundials have been laid down on the front and back endpapers, including those at the Tower of the Winds in Athens, that at the home of Charles Dickens at Gadshill, Kent, and the one at Madeley Court neat Stourbridge. Near contemporary inked presentation inscription on front endpaper reads: "To M.P.S. with love from Olivia, Xmas 1916". A really lovely and bright copy in the slightly chipped dust-jacket. Jessie Marion King was one of the most influential and important Scottish illustrators of the 20th century. She studied with Fra Newberry at the Glasgow School of Art, where she developed her unique blend of Scottish mysticism and continental Art Nouveau style, alongside Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Margaret and Frances MacDonald, and Herbert MacNair. Throughout her fine art and illustrative career, King was in high demand with publishers, especially Glaswegian publisher Gowan & Sons, and Edinburgh publisher T.N. Foulis. King was one of the artists known as the Glasgow Girls. She also collaborated with Chivers of Bath on three magnificent vellucent bindings, had an ongoing relationship with Liberty to produce jewellery and fabric commissions and published books featuring her own drawings. An eccentric and dynamic personality, King was recognised for her second sight, gifted to her by the "Little People" when she was a young girl, her odd style of dress which was described as witch-like, and the way she attracted artistic personalities as she did at her home in Kirkcudbright.…
