IRVING, Washington; RACKHAM, Arthur. — Rip Van Winkle

Very Good William Heinemann London Small folio. Original publisher's green cloth covered boards, with illustration and lettering pieces in gilt to the upper spine and publisher's vignette in blind centre of the rear cover; joints are rubbed; shelf wear to spine head and foot ends; rubbing to boards and board edges; minor soiling and marks to boards; corners bumped. Complete with 50 leaves of mounted colour plates plus frontispiece, all illustrations protected by tissue guard sheets with letterpress. With a date in ink to the front paste down, 16th December 1913 and small surface damage to the same paste down, looks as though someone has tried to erast an owner name or inscription. Else in very good condition.
