Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Hardcover. This romantic, rousing, and rowdy circa 1919 collection of historic ballads comes illustrated by the great Arthur Rackham (1867-1939), crown prince of the Golden Age of Illustration, who here offers a feast of 16 mounted and tissue-guarded color plates and over 20 bold vignettes in black and white. In these fantastically imagined and richly rendered pages, you'll join the ill-fated hunt and brave the bloody battle of the ballad of "Chevy Chase," become seduced by a mermaid (against your mother's advice) with fatal effects in the ballad of "Clerk Colvill," free your father's captive and force him to marry you with the help of a household spirit in the ballad of "Young Bekie," witness the illicit wedding of a woman to her beautiful bird prince in the ballad of "The Earl of Mar's Daughter," and experience many other great adventures from ballads across countless British centuries. 10 1/4" X 7 3/4". 8pp, [iii], 2-170pp. Bound in sky blue cloth over boards, with lovers wedding in a grove of trees stamped in gilt to upper board, with acorn and leaves in gilt to spine, both lettered in kind, and lion and leopard with Tudor rose and Scottish thistle stamped in blind to rear. Moderate wear to binding, with bumping to corners, nicely repaired split to cloth at exterior hinges, small spot of soiling to rear, and visible bowing to boards. Pictorial endpapers of a knight riding across a bridge. Previous owner's name to front free endpaper. Foxing to pages throughout, else unmarked. Some creasing to tissue-guards throughout and small tear to tissue guard facing page 66. Some leaves unopened. Illustrated in 16 tissue-guarded color plates by Arthur Rackham tipped in to thick gray paper throughout, along with many black and white vignettes.

Shop-Beschreibung

Underground Books, ABAA is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop, founded in 2011 as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia, which is now operated by out former store manager as The Underground Bookshop. Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women’s Initiative Mentorship Program. Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
