Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Kay Nielsen (illustrator). 1st Edition. A good copy of the 1st trade edition of 'In Powder and Crinoline' with 24 tipped in colour plates and numerous designs by Kay Nielsen. Undated but 1913. This was Kay Nielsen's first published book illustration and his reputation was such that Arthur Quiller-Couch was commissioned to find and rewrite the fairy tales to the title chosen by Nielsen. His illustrations are unique and unforgettable. This copy is in the publisher's quarter cloth binding with grey card boards. The spine has gilt titles and designs and the front board has red titles and grey illustration. The binding is sound but with the usual wear: pulling to the top and bottom of the spine and edge wear to the boards with some browning and marking. The decorative endpapers are present with some light browning and there is some repair to the front endpaper joint. Contents are complete including half title; frontispiece with tissue guard; title page on thick grey paper with red lettering; list of illustrations; preface; and text 164 pp with designs and 23 tipped in colour plates on thick grey paper with decorative guards. Contents are generally clean and the plates are in very good condition. There is sporadic and persistent browning in the gutter of the text pages around the stitching. The tissue guards to plates at pp 28 and 132 and occasional light marking on the grey paper supporting the plates. Please enquire if you would like to see further images.

When Messrs. Hodder and Stoughton told me that Mr. Kay Nielsen wished to employ his pencil upon a volume of Fairy Tales, to be called 'In Powder and Crinoline', I answered that the title and the notion it conveyed were, in my opinion, capital; that no-one with fourty-one volumes of the 'Cabinet des Fées' on his shelves [.] ought to find any difficulty with 'Powder' save the pleasant difficulty of choosing; but that if anyone knew where to find in the age of 'Crinoline' a stock of such tales as we wanted I sholud be obliged by the information. There was no doubt they ought to exist, but I doubted very much if they did. So, or nearly so, it turned out." (etc., Preface p. IX f.). Es folgt die launige doch informative Schilderung, wo und wie die in dem Buch versammelten Geschichten aufgespürt und gestal.

Limited Edition. Folio. Edition De Luxe, number 69 of 500 copies, signed by illustrator Kay Nielsen. In his first trip to England in 1913, he created a sensation at the Dowdswell galleries. Nielsen's illustrations are romantic, sexy, depicting delicate princesses and willowy bad boys lurking in parks or lounging alongside ladies' beds or occasionally straddling warhorses. His art is flat and graphic, lavishly stylized and delicate, with bold silhouettes decorated with filigrees of fine lines. He took inspiration from the traditional art of Persia, India, China. His works bring to mind fashion sketches, the English illustrator Aubrey Beardsley. It was no wonder that he caught Walt Disney's eye and was used in Fantasia for the Night on Bald Mountain and Ave Maria sections. Nielsen stage designed for the Copenhagen Royal Theater, which allowed him to think much like a designer. His designing skills can clearly be seen in The Powder and Crinoline which was later published in America as Twelve Dancing Princesses. The fairy tales in the present volume are "Minon-Minette," "Felicia or the Pot of Pinks," "The Twelve Dancing Princesses," "Rosanie or the Inconstant Prince," "The Man Who Never Laughed," "John and the Ghosts," and "The Czarina's Violet." Bound in publisher's original green pictorial gilt vellum with slight bowing and a bit of fading near foot and bottom edge of rear board, endpapers have typical foxing, original ribbons lacking, all 26 hand mounted plates present and in fine condition (the trade edition had only 24 plates).
