Beasts & Men. Folk Tales collected in Flanders and illustrated by Jean de Bosschere
London, William Heinemann, 1918 [first edition].
Quarto, xii, 179, [1] (publisher's advertisement) pages with 113 black and white illustrations plus 12 full-page colour plates with captioned tissue-guards.
Pictorial green cloth; head of the spine very lightly sunned; top edge, and first and last pages, lightly foxed; trifling production flaw to the leading margin of one leaf (pages 51-52); an excellent copy with the pictorial dustwrapper a little sunned, chipped, creased and torn, with minor loss to the head of the spine.
The dustwrapper is presumably rare; the additional bonus is that its presence has ensured that the cloth has remained very bright and fresh.
