Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm

A new translation by Mrs Edgar Lucas

with illustrations by Arthur Rackham

London Freemantle & Co MCM [1900]

xvii [17] + 464 pages, all page edges gilt

measures 155mm x 195mm

Colour frontis and title page, illustrated throughout the text in black and white with 97 illustrations; some full page + many smaller within the text.

There are few books where it is evident the illustrator went so above and beyond in the sheer volume of illustrations as presented here, letting their imagination and creativity run loose, so inspired by the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. 

Thank you for looking - increasingly uncommon thus after 125 years -
