A propos de cet article

23 x 19cm. 110pp. Undated. 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Jack the Giant-Killer' retold by Mona Noel Paton and copiously illustrated by Hubert Paton. Original boards with Celtic design border are rubbed at edges and worn at corners. There is an early professional rebind to the spine in Rexine with the binder's discrete plate to front pastedown: Campling of Great Yarmouth. End papers and pastedowns are decorated. A fine linen paper is clean and unfoxed with brown ink to text and decorations. The Celtic theme continues throughout. Mona Noel Paton (1860-1928) was the daughter of the artist, Joseph Noel Paton, and first in line for Dodgon's Alice book. The book is copiously illustrated by Mona s first cousin, the artist and sculptor Waller Hubert Paton (1863-1940). A pre-Raphaelite sensibility is evident in this assemblage of fair folk and grotesques. A rare book in any condition. An excellent account of its author and family is available by way of internet research. N° de réf. du vendeur 1587
