Item description from seller

Illustrated by Alfred Garth Jones with well over 100 illustrations. Number 38 of 25 copies on "papier de Chine", with an extra suite of borders and illustrations, of a total edition of 551 copies. Text bound into heavy paper wrappers, the extra suite of illustrations in wrappers, the whole in a printed board portfolio. Paris, Ch. Tallendier, Éditeur. Printed by Draeger Frères, Paris, 31 October Well over 100 illustrations in bold and powerful arts and crafts style with homage to Dürer, occasionally crossing over into art nouveau. Each page enclosed in an art nouveau border, of which there are 48, some repeated two or three times. Illustrations and text printed in dark brown; borders printed in various colours. Jones?s most ambitious and important illustrated work, ignored by most online sources: all his many other books and commissions are English, although he had spent some time in Paris in the earlier 1890s, at the Académie Julian. The bound volume extremely fine and bright, with light thumbing lower right corner of a few leaves. Loose set of borders and illustrations fine save for small and faint water stains lower corner of about 20 leaves. Portfolio very good with wear to corners of boards and missing silk ties.…
