Interesting and uncommon publisher's or salesman's sample or blad (book - or basic - layout and design), used as a form of pre-publication sales material for forthcoming books, in this case the American edition of Peer Gynt published by Lippincott. These would give the prospective buyer an idea of the style of binding, endpapers used, the type of illustration and quality of presswork. Latimore & Haskell, p. 74; Riall, p. 192. Small quarto, pp. 30. Original russet cloth, gilt lettered and decorated on front cover, back cover showing a sample of the spine for the trade edition (divided vertically with two blind rules, gilt lettered and decorated), top edges gilt, pictorial endpapers. Frontispiece and one coloured plate with captioned tissue guards, black and white illustrations in the text by Rackham. Light soiling to covers (light pencilling on front cover: illegible but possibly a publisher's or salesman's note), a couple of very slight smudges to title page. A very good copy.

Edition originale Signé
First edition, signed limited issue, number 258 of 460 copies signed by the artist. Ibsen's play, based on a Norwegian fairy tale, was originally published in 1867. In his essay on Rackham's book illustrations, Gettings states that "in the troll scenes" within Peer Gynt, "Rackhamerie abounds" (p. 165). A contemporary review of the book in the New York Times described the artist's work as "delightfully impish and imaginative" and stated, "it is seldom that the work of artist and author is more happily married". Latimore & Haskell, p. 74; Riall p. 192. Fred Gettings, Rackham's Best Book Illustrations, 1976. Quarto. Original vellum, spine and front board lettered and decorated in gilt, original pictorial endpapers, top edge gilt, others uncut. With the original card slipcase. Colour frontispiece and 11 colour plates tipped-in with captioned tissue guards, black and white illustrations in the text. Vellum a little toned, occasional faint foxing to contents, otherwise bright and clean. A very good copy retaining the original slipcase with some browning, superficial splits at edges, tape repair at foot of spine panel, but sound.
