Add to baskethardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1951 Limited Editions Club, 7 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches tall white vellum hardcover in publisher's slipcase, gilt design and lettering to front cover and spine, brilliantly illustrated in color by Edmind Dulac, signed by Dulac on the limitations page, copy 508 of 1500, index, 64 pp. A near fine copy -…clean, bright and unmarked with very slight rubbing to covers - in a slightly soiled, bumped and edgeworn slipcase. ~SP30~ [3.0P] This exquisite volume presents Walter Pater's celebrated translation of the classical myth of Cupid and Psyche, originally extracted from Marius the Epicurean. Celebrated for its lush aestheticist style, Pater's rendition captures the philosophical nuance and allegorical depth of Apuleius's ancient Latin original. This particular edition serves as a magnificent monument to the Golden Age of Illustration, containing some of the final color plates executed by the legendary artist Edmund Dulac. The collaboration between Pater's prose and Dulac's ethereal, dreamlike imagery offers a sublime visual and textual experience for scholars of late-Victorian literature and book arts alike. This limited, signed production is highly prized by collectors of fine press editions and represents a high-water mark for mid-century American book design under the direction of George Macy.

Contact seller5-star sellerHalf Calf and Marbled. Condition: Good. Paris: Chez Jean-Francois Bastien, 1822. Nouvelle Traduction, Avec Le Latin En Regard, Par J.A. Maury [New Translation, with Latin Original Text on facing versos, by J.A. Maury]. Imprimerie D'Ange Clo. Line engravings with tissue guards throughout both volumes. Two volumes, octavo; vol. 1…[6] xxvii + 370 pp.; vol 2 [6], 426 pp. Half calf with marbled boards, gilt and black compartments and lettering on spine; marbled endpapers; all page edges marbled. One example in each copy, at the front pastedown, of the artful bookplate of author Kirby Flower Smith. Leather worn and soiled with three joints cracked; spine ends perished and two small spine pieces missing as well from Vol 1; light internal foxing, rarely affecting the abundant plates, and scarcely so when that occurs. A scarce antiquarian two-volume rendition, in French on rectos with Latin original text on versos opposite, of "The Golden Ass" (or, "Metamorphosis") of Apulius. The earliest known classic tale of its type, that being a rather zesty account of the ribald Thessalian adventures of a young Greek aristocrat, Lucius. Eventually, Lucius betrays a priestess - as much of a no-no then as now - and is transformed into an ass. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Written by Apulius in the second century A.D. Replete with [uncredited] enchanting line-drawing engravings after the fashion of Flaxman; the stylistic novelty, particularly with illustrations of ancient Greek scenes, carries more than a bit of magic. For the bookplate collector, there are two of Kirby Flower Smith's stylish plates, one in each volume. Smith authored The Elegies of Albius Tibullus, Numa and Egeria, The Tale of Gyges and the King of Lydia, and other titles. Uncommon set. L-37n. Engravings as Flaxman (illustrator).
