DESCRIPTION: Undated in the volume; publication date of 1913 supplied from bibliographic records. 113 numbered pages, plus unnumbered preliminary matter including half-title/title page, contents, and list of illustrations. Illustrated with ten superb tipped-in (mounted) colour plates by Edmund Dulac, including frontispiece, with captioned tissue guards. Bound in the publisher's cream cloth elaborately decorated in turquoise-green and gilt with Dulac's peacock and winged-figure design to the upper board, corresponding decoration and gilt lettering to spine, decorative green endpapers and green-stained upper edge. Text printed within ornamental borders. With the scarce original pictorial publisher's box, the lid bearing a mounted Dulac colour illustration. Also retaining fragmentary remnants of what appears to be the original glassine wrapper. CONDITION: Book Very Good; particularly attractive example of one of Dulac's important Golden Age illustrated books. The cream cloth remains unusually bright, with the turquoise and gilt decoration crisp and well preserved. Minor age-related handling and toning. Internally clean overall. The mounted colour plates are bright and well preserved. The binding remains sound, though there is occasional shallow cracking at the gutters where the book has been opened, consistent with normal use and age. These openings are superficial rather than structural, with no loose or detached leaves noted. Boards remain clean and well preserved overall, with a slight inward bow to the rear board not affecting the structural integrity of the binding. Please see the pictures. Original box Fair, substantially worn, rubbed, stained and abraded with splits, paper loss and old internal tape repairs, but substantially complete. Fragmentary original glassine retained.…
