Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. First Edition. First Edition of the Michael Hague illustrated edition. A uncommon advance salesman's dummy designed for the publisher's sales force prior to publication for purposes of promoting the book. This copy is INSCRIBED on the front endpaper by Michael Hague 3 months prior to publication to an individual involved in the marketing of the book. Near fine in a Vg.+ dj. (Dj. has a 1 1/2"-inch tear at the head of the rear panel, with some smaller edge tears & shallow chipping to spine ends) A remarkable production, involving the hand pasting of full-color illustrations onto the pages in the text.

A few of the smaller images at the beginning of the text have become detached and are laid-in. A little less than half the text is present, though not represented in chronological order. The remaining portion is blank. It is unlikely that more than a few copies were produced. Michael Hague's FIRST and most enduring book project.; Signed by Author(s).

Arthur Rackham's "Wind in the Willows" [RACKHAM, Arthur, illustrator]. GRAHAME, Kenneth. The Wind in the Willows. With an Introduction by A.A. Milne & Illustrations by Arthur Rackham. New York: The Limited Editions Club, 1940. Limited to 2,020 numbered copies (this copy being No. 1315), signed by the designer, Bruce Rogers. Quarto (11 3/8 x 8 1/8 inches; 289 x 207 mm.). [2], 244, [2] pp. Sixteen mounted color plates. "Printed at the Walpole Printing Office.The edition was designed by and printed under the supervision of Bruce Rogers" (Colophon). Original quarter pale yellow buckram over patterned paper boards. Spine lettered in gilt. Top edge gilt, others uncut. A very fine, partially uncut copy. In the original publisher's olive green cardboard slipcase. "The Wind in the Willows was not published in England until 1950, but it found two publishers, one for a de luxe edition (The Limited Editions Club, New York) and one for a trade edition (The Heritage Press, New York) in the United States posthumously in the year following Rackham's death. The book is a gentle delight, presenting sixteen illustrations which in no way fight with the more famous imaginative world created by Shepherd, although if Shepherd had not preceded him, then Rackham might have anthropomorphized his creatures even more. Several of the plates are delightful: the â Golden Day when the three heroes walked by the Caravan, Mole leading a happy horse'; the placid Rat handing a hamper to put into a boat, a plate famous among Rackham lovers because it was the boat for which Rackham forgot to draw the oars, an omission which some see as significant in view of the artist's imminent death. Perhaps the most interesting picture is the frontispiece, which depicts the egocentric Toad levelled to the drab clothes of a no-pocket washerwoman, hopping about permissively, totally unequipped for the real contest. In the real world of people, like all egoists, animal or human, he is alien, and it is a typical piece of Rackhamerie that we should see two children laughing at the glum toad, not because he is a toad, but because he is obviously pretending to be something else. It is with a sense of a serious loss that one turns to the imprint of the de luxe edition in search of the familiar Rackham signature, and finds not the careful hand of Rackham, but that of the designer Bruce Rogers, who saw the book and Rackham's pictures through the press." (Gettings, Arthur Rackham. Pp. 168-169). "This was the final book Arthur Rackham illustrated before his death in 1939" (Riall, pp. 197-198). Bruce Rogers (1870 - 1957) was an American typographer and type designer, acclaimed by some as among the greatest book designers of the twentieth century. Rogers was known for his "classical" style of design, rejecting modernism, never using asymmetrical arrangements, rarely using sans serif type faces, favoring stolid roman faces such as Caslon and his own Centaur.

Signed limited first Rackham edition, one of 2020 copies signed by fine press book designer Bruce Rogers, a stunning copy. The distinctly English atmosphere of this classic bucolic tale notwithstanding, this edition was first published in the United States and not published in England until 1950. Only two years before this edition, Updike called Rogers "the most exquisitely sensitive designer of books that this country, or perhaps any country, possesses." The stories of timid Mole, practical Rat, wise Badger, and intemperate Mr. Toad remain excellent bedtime reading. This is a beautiful gift edition. 11.25'' x 8''. Original quarter tan cloth, orange patterned boards. In original green slipcase. Top edge gilt, other edges uncut. Illustrated by Rackham with 16 magnificent mounted color plates. 245, [1] pages. Signed by Rogers on limitation page at rear. Book a couple barely visible spots to spine, else fine; slipcase repaired at joints. About fine in very good slipcase.

First full colour-illustrated edition, signed limited issue, number 177 of 250 copies signed and numbered by the illustrator, and specially bound. Wind in the Willows was first published in 1908 with only a frontispiece for illustration. E. H. Shepard, well-known for his illustrations of A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh series, was asked to provide black and white illustrations for a new edition in 1931, following on from Milne's popular adaptation of the book for stage, Toad of Toad Hall (1929). Shepard visited Grahame at his house in Pangbourne to make sketches, and at their first meeting Grahame said to him, "I love these little people, be kind to them" (quoted in Dennison). Even today, the most popular versions of the book contain Shepard's classic illustrations of anthropomorphized animals. For this edition, Shepard redrew his illustrations from his original 1931 edition and added colour. Matthew Dennison, Eternal Boy: The Life of Kenneth Grahame, 2018. Octavo. Original green morocco, spine lettered gilt, raised bands, character vignettes to compartments in blind and to front cover in gilt, map endpapers, gilt edges. With the publisher's illustrated green card slipcase. Prolific colour illustrations by E. H. Shepard.

SHEPARD, Ernest H. (illustrator). . The Wind in the Willows. Illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard. London: Methuen & Co., 1931. Full Description: GRAHAME, Kenneth. The Wind in the Willows. Illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard. London: Methuen & Co., [1931]. First edition illustrated by Shepard. (The first edition was published in 1908 with a frontispiece by Graham Robertson.) Limited to 200 numbered copies on handmade paper, signed by both the author and illustrator. This being copy number 42. Small quarto (8 3/4 x 7 1/4 inches; 220 x 185 mm). [2, blank], [6], 312 pp. Text illustrations. Folding map at end. Original quarter green buckram over gray boards. Printed paper label on spine. All edges uncut. Additional printed paper spine label tipped in at end. A fine copy. Always a champion of The Wind in the Willows, A.A. Milne turned the novel into the play Toad of Toad Hall in 1929. Not surprisingly, Milne focused primarily on the animals, excising most of Grahame's romantic fantasy. When Grahame's work was originally published in 1908 it received only moderate enthusiasm, but the huge success of Milne's stage version, and this subsequent republication of the book with Shepard's illustrations, helped establish the book as a children's classic. HBS 68944. $5,500.

First Shepard edition, signed limited issue, number 164 of 200 large paper copies signed by both author and artist. This edition - also issued unsigned in a cloth binding - was the first edition to be illustrated by Shepard, whose classic illustrations of anthropomorphized animals render this the most popular version of the book even today. Wind in the Willows was first published in 1908 with only a frontispiece for illustration. Well-known for his illustrations of A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh series, Shepard was asked to illustrate a new edition, following Milne's popular adaptation of the book for the stage, Toad of Toad Hall. In 1931 Shepard visited Grahame at his house in Pangbourne to make sketches, and at their first meeting Grahame said to him, "I love these little people, be kind to them". Large octavo. Original green cloth-backed grey boards, white paper label on spine printed in black, spare label tipped-in at rear as issued. With dust jacket. Illustrated throughout by E. H. Shepard, folding map at rear. A very good copy indeed, tight and sharp, a little foxing to edges, else clean and bright, in the original dust jacket that is somewhat toned and rubbed, a few nicks to extremities, short closed tear to foot of spine fold, not price-clipped.
