About This Item
Pinner Middlesex: The Private Libraries Association, The British Library & Oak Knoll Press, 2003. First edition, 2003. Hardback. 309pp. Publisher's original red cloth with gilt design to upper board and gilt titles to spine. Dust jacket in a protective sleeve. Edward Ardizzone illustrated over 200 books and pamphlets, as well as designing dust jackets and ephemera for a wide range of patrons. Brian Alderson first published a checklist of this work in 'The Private Library' in 1972. Since then, with the co-operation of the artist and his family, he has extended and expanded the coverage of the original list, describing for the first time in a full-scale bibliography Ardizzone's books, dust jackets, commercial work and ephemera, with notes on his periodical contributions, war art, prints, posters and bookplates. Appendices reprint articles by Edward Ardizzone himself, detail the history of two favourite titles ("Peacock Pie" and "Peter Pan") and reproduce Gabriel White's memorial tribute to the artist. Book in fine condition. Dust jacket near fine and unclipped. Very slight colour fade to spine.
