Not dated but c1900-1910. 256pp. With four colour plate illustrations by Alice Woodward. Beautifully bound in Glasgow Style boards designed by Ethel Larcombe. Just slightly rubbed and rounded at edges. Previous owner’s inscription on front paste down endpaper. Endpapers lightly tanned. (Ethel Larcombe was a leading book designer often commissioned by Talwin Morris, the Art Director at Blackie and Sons between 1983 and 1909; Morris himself was a leading influence in the Glasgow Style, associating with the likes of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Margaret MacDonald and Frances and Herbert MacNair. Larcombe’s designs, while often a little more florid than those of other members of the Glasgow School, are uniformly elegant, beautiful and now quite collectible.) 0
