About this Item

#151 of 170 copies signed and numbered by Harry Clarke. 4to full vellum, 24 full page black and white plates with tissue guards. This was before the color plates were added to later editions this is the only signed limited of all the editions. Quite scarce today. Gilt spine titles and small gilt illustration on the front cover, bordered by a design of chains & hearts all in gilt. Top edge gilt. The vellum is separating from boards at top of pastedown endpapers, very slightly in front, about 2 1/2 inches in rear. Modest bowing to boards and a little unevenness to the spine. Modest darkening to covers. Without previous ownership markings. No foxing, interior pages very clean. A solid copy of the scarcest of all Clarke titles and the most reprinted of them all, proving its popularity over the last 100 years. Signed by Clarke.
