Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. W. M. Thackeray & Edward Ardizzone (illustrator). First Thus. This copy is bound in publisher's original light blue cloth covered boards with bright silver gilt titling to the spine There is a small neat inscription to the f.e.p. The unclipped dust wrapper has some minimal edge wear to the top edge, there is some marking to the front panel and is sunned to the spine it has now been covered in clear, removable, protective film. There is a publisher's paper panel to the title page covering the original publishers ( Guilford Press Ltd & Wilfrid David Ltd.) Although the reverse of the title page credits Edward Ardizzone with the design of the title page and the jacket only the title page is clearly his work. The cover is an illustration by thackeray as are all the other illustrations in the book. The Rose and The Ring is a satirical work of fantasy fiction written by William Makepeace Thackeray, originally published at Christmas 1854 (though dated 1855).[1] It criticises, to some extent, the attitudes of the monarchy and those at the top of society and challenges their ideals of beauty and marriage. Set in the fictional countries of Paflagonia and Crim Tartary, the story revolves around the lives and fortunes of four young royal cousins, Princesses Angelica and Rosalba, and Princes Bulbo and Giglio. Each page is headed by a line of poetry summing up the plot at that point and the storyline as a whole is laid out, as the book states, as "A Fireside Pantomime". This edition had illustrations by Thackeray who had once intended a career as an illustrator. Ref SS5.
