Details
Description
A deluxe large format portfolio edition of one of Dulac's most desired books, a quirky ABC.
- Edmund Dulac (French).
- London: Frederick Warne & Co., 1908 [1909].
- [2] bifolia and [25] loose leaves.
- 24 full-page color plates tipped onto thicker grey paper.
- Original brown cloth box with color pictorial paste-on, signatures loose as issued, portfolio style, pictorial "endpapers" mounted to thick grey paper of a bard performing onstage.
"O was an obstinate owl, who might have been quite a nice fowl. But she spoilt her eye sight reading novels at night. Now she ogles at you with a scowl."
Accomplished with a touch of humor, the alphabet features a letter-based limerick to accompany each illustration. The success of tone and design make this one of Dulac's most sought books. This deluxe edition was issued a year after the standard edition; it is significantly scarcer.
