Small 4to. Red cloth boards with blindstamp to back cover and gilt decoration and lettering to front. Extremities worn, hinges starting; t.e.g. Roughly 20 nonconsecutive pages have chips at top outer edge. First American edition. Pictorial eps. "Of the sixteen full-page colour illustrations in this book - for which Jessie M. King also designed the covers, end papers, title-page and decorative initials throughout - it is difficult to speak too highly." Taylor, The Art Nouveau Book in Britain, 135 (1966). Jessie M. King's work is sublime, particularly the 16 tipped in illustrations that are clean, crisp, imaginative and reflect a truly remarkable sensitivity and delicacy highlighted by a mix of vivid and muted coloring
