A propos de cet article

First edition. Original red-brown cloth with superb gilt and black stamped cover design of dragonflies, gilt lettering on cover and spine. Tinted frontispiece, line drawing on title-page, and fifteen exquisite color lithographic plates by Boyle, with printed tissue guards attached at the gutter (three lacking). Line drawings throughout by Boyle. AEG. A wonderfully preserved copy, expertly recased with all the original cloth; a book commonly found disbound, this copy is the scarce first edition, of which few turn up on the market. Near fine, with slight foxing. A rare survival of one of the more cunning and visually pleasing colorplate children s books of the period.
