Description:
Illustrated by E.J. Detmold with 12 tipped-in color plates, captioned tissue guards. (4to) 27.7x20.5 cm (11x8¼"), original vellum pictorially gilt, Aladdin's lamp stamped in blind on back cover. This copy unnumbered, matching the issue of 100 Deluxe copies.
Unnumbered copy matching the Deluxe issue of only 100 copies, beautifully bound and with 12 plates in saturated colors. Detmold's rarest book. Some deluxe copies were bound, as here, without the signed limitation leaf, the result, apparently, of the publisher printing more than 100 copies and deluxe binding the extra sheets.
Condition
Touch of rubbing to edges, light soiling; hinges splitting, endpapers foxed, very good.
