Cloth. Condition: Very Good. A very scarce, beautifully illustrated copy of this fantasy work by Marie Corelli Illustrated throughout with tipped-in colour plates by Arthur Severn. Designed to smell of motor oil -quite successfully. Marie Corelli (1 May 1855 21 April 1924) was a British novelist. She enjoyed a period of great literary success from the publication of her first novel in 1886 until World War I. Corelli's novels sold more copies than the combined sales of popular contemporaries, including Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells, and Rudyard Kipling. Corelli expressed a passion for the artist Arthur Severn, to whom she wrote daily letters from 1906 to 1917. Severn was the son of Joseph Severn and close friend to John Ruskin. In 1910, Arthur Severn and Corelli collaborated on The Devil's Motor with Severn providing illustrations for Corelli's story. In a decorative red cloth with gilt detailing. Externally generally smart, though with some marks to the spine and some light bumping. Internally, binding strained in places. Pages have some marginal age-toning and the occasional handling mark.

Cloth. Condition: Very Good Indeed. First edition. A strikingly illustrated first edition of this work of fantasy fiction from successful novelist Marie Corelli. A unique work, this first edition is illustrated throughout by ghoulish tipped-in colour plates from artist Arthur Severn. Fitting with the subject of the story, the pages of this work are designed to look smoke stained and produce the aroma of motor oil.Marie Corelli was British novelist who enjoyed a period of great success from the publication of her first novel in 1886 until the First World War, when her reputation was diminished as a consequence for her conviction of food-hoarding. This was the author's humorous and creative campaign against the motor car.Produced in collaboration with painter Arthur Severn, an artist and friend of John Ruskin with whom she formed an unrequited romantic attachment, writing to him daily for over a decade. Severn was married, and in fact often often belittled Corelli's success. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Bright. Bumping to spine head and tail. Internally, firmly bound.
