About This Item
London: Walter Haddon, 1894. Hardcover. Very Good. Greiffenhagen, Maurice. 2 vols (384, 249, [1] p.): illustrations; 24 cm. Brown cloth with gilt-stamped spine title and cover title; gilt-stamped front cover decoration and back cover publisher's emblem. Vol. 1 includes the title page supplied by the publisher for the first six issues, published from May to October 1893. That title page and the cover were available from the publisher for a small fee. Only the first four issues of vol. 2 were published, from November 1893 to February 1894. Apparently neither a title page nor a vol. 2 cover were provided by the publisher, as issues 7-10 were here bound in the same cover as vol. 1, which has "vol. 1" on the spine and "The first volume of the Butterfly" on the front cover. As the four issues did not require the same size cover, blank leaves were bound in following issue 10, in order to fit the cover. These 2 volumes contain all 10 scarce issues of this English magazine from 1893-94; it was revived briefly in 1899. Illustrations by Maurice Greiffenhagen, Oscar Eckhardt, Leonard Raven-Hill, Edgar Wilson, Adolph Birkenrut, Reginald Savage, and Paul Renouard. Fiction and poetry by Arnold Golsworthy, L. Godfrey-Turner, Rose Champion de Crespigny, William Edmondson, Beatrice Chambers, and Caroline North. In Very Good Condition: spines are sunned; vol. 1 just starting to fray at head of spine; vol. 2 frayed at both ends of spine with slight loss of cloth; upper corner of vol. 1 front cover slightly frayed; vol. 2 front hinge weak; occasional foxing in vol. 2; otherwise both volumes clean and tight.
