	2 DULAC. EDMUND.; Writes and illustrates. LYRICS PATHETIC & HUMOROUS, FROM A TO Z. Frederick Warne & Co. London.,1908  FIRST EDITION. 4to. (10.8 x 8.5 inches).

Colour pages are printed on one side only. A bright and clean copy throughout.

Rear board with circular design printed in white, gold and green. Plain yellow cloth spine. Some minor marking to the spine but overall a lovely clean, tight, near fine copy. Among the artists best and most imaginative works, this title is also one of the scarcest books that he illustrated. The humour in his verse is far surpassed by the comical imagination of the plates and shows the lighter side of Dulac's nature. The plates have all the decoration and style of those painted for the Arabian Nights and Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam but also have a sense of fun equal to that of William Heath Robinson. Dulac at his very best. Hughey 18.:  Price: 850.00 GBP Add to Shopping Cart
