Beschreibung

A brightly illustrated volume of fantasy children's tales by Isidora Newman, enclosed in the original bright slipcase. With fourteen colour plates, frontispiece, and further illustrations. Collated, complete.From American poet and artist Isidora Newman, this is a collection of twenty-four fairy tales and fables, many of which seek to explain the origins of certain varieties of flowers. Some of the tales reflect the African American and Creole cultures of New Orleans, where she was born and raised.This work is delightfully and brightly illustrated by prolific Hungarian artist Willy Pogany. Often described as creating work in an Art Nouveau style, Pogany's preferences were for dreamy and warm pastel scenes created with watercolours and oils. Many works of this type are present within this volume.Enclosed in the original bright slipcase. In the publisher's original quarter cloth binding and paper covered boards. Externally, smart and bright, with some light shelf wear and a few light marks to the boards, with some light bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Slipcase has some wear and some marks to the exterior, and some loss to the paper binding at the tail of the rear corner. Internally, firmly bound. A few spots and handling marks to the first and last few pages, otherwise pages are bright and clean. Very Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 823J50
