Edgard Tijtgat's charming Le Petit Chaperon Rouge. From the edition limited to 50 numbered copies, with this one of 40 on papier antique. Printed on thick doubled sheets of papier antique, stitched in the Japanese manner, Tijtgat's text and illustration detail the story, or at least Perrault's version, of Little Red Riding-Hood. Each of the linocuts on papier antique is preceded by a leaf of Chine with the same illustration in colour; there are, thus, 16 prints, each in two states, 32 linocuts in total. The entire text of the book, is printed from original woodblocks, including the title in three colours while all illustration (as outlined above) is linocut; the endpapers too are decorated with a repeated floral design in four colours. Tijtgat's version of Little Red Riding-hood was first printed in London in a folio edition of 15 copies in 1917. A second London edition - the present version - was published the following year in an edition of 50 copies. Both editions were issued under the imprint of Cyril Beaumont; a third edition of 100 copies was published in Tijtgat's native Belgium, in Brussells, in 1921. Tijtgat (or Tytgat) had finalised the work by 1910 but it was only issued in 1917 despite the cover of the Brussells edition indicating a date of '1915 - 1916'. …
