Bound in contemporary half calf, both volumes with double morocco spine labels. The rare first issue, with printer's imprint to the foot of vol. 1 p. 236 (T.

Seldom seen, this is the first issue of the Lambs most recognizable work, considered the first attempt to make Shakespeare accessible to a young audience. The book was commissioned by William Godwin's children's publishing house. Mary Lamb (1764-1847), whose name was omitted from the earliest editions, contributed the majority of the stories, while Charles worked on the six tragedies. The plates were designed by William Mulready, and are often said to have been engraved by William Blake. There is light and occasional…

Description:
London: M. J. Godwin, at the Juvenile Library, 1811. 12mo, [xii], 176, 4pp. (advertisements), original publisher's boards, uncut edges (unusual), without the 2 plates (this is not a defect, since not called for- see below). A very scarce and desirable tile by Charles Lamb, which was published by Godwin in 1811, but was not re-issued, as this volume (which may be considered a second edition of that excessively rare item) took its place. In books published by Godwin in 1812, there occurs an advertisement for Poetry for Children which is headed "Out of Print, but the best Pieces inserted in "Mylius, First Book of Poetry." Extensive notes by early owner in pen, and another in pencil detail the edition..."Since the title-page notes that the volume is sold bound in sheep with two engravings, this uncut version which lacks the engravings should not be regarded as defective since, they are not 'called for." [Pencil note by William St Clair]. The work contains twenty-nine original poems by Charles Lamb under…

Description:
Paris: n.p., 1916. Offered here is a superb original WWI gouache (18. 5 x 12.5 inches) by the famous bookbinder and artist Pierre Legrain (1889-1929), the cover design made for the legendary "La Baionnette" (June, 29,1916). Gouache, ink and collage on paper mounted to card, signed lower right and dated ì16." A fabulous and dynamic image with bayonet lashing into a shield, exquisite graphic lettering and composition. For this modern master, it was strictly personal; his mother was Belgian. Pierre Legrain, born in Levallois-Perret, France in 1889, became associated with Jacques Doucet in 1919, who entrusted him with the binding of his books. In 1920, he exhibited his first bindings at the Salon des Artistes DÃcorateurs, while pursuing other artistic endeavors, including painting and graphic arts. He developed into one of France's premier bookbinders, and his paintings go for very high prices at auction.

Lenzgesind originated from a collection of images which Kreidolf had set aside from unplaced works of earlier books deemed as surplus and augmented by newer illustrations. "The 63 year old Kreidolf then produced verses for the 12 illustrations, sometimes mature, sometimes humor, sometimes profound." (Haase). A fine copy in every way. A very scarce and seldom seen Kreidolf title, especially in this fine condition.
