107739US: 1954. Large folio fine clear uniform impression on hand-made paper with no watermark inscribed in pencil by Lessing Rosenwald see below. § The best of Blake's illustrations of Dante often called the “Whirlwind of loversâ€. It depicts a scene from the fifth canto of The Inferno in which Dante guided by Virgil sees the sinful bodies of lovers "whom love bereav'd of life" trapped in a whirlwind rising to heaven.Incomplete at the time of his death in 1827 Blake’s illustrations for the Divine Comedy commissioned by John Linnell are some of his finest and most affecting inventions. From 102 illustrations ranging from pencil sketches to finished watercolors Blake made seven engravings also left incomplete. Though unfinished these prints are still reckoned amongst the most powerful and moving of Blake’s images and are especially impressive by virtue of their large size.This impression from the original plate was printed for Lessing Rosenwald in 1953/4 this impression is dated 6/14/1954. No number is given though Keynes Blake Studies suggested 20 sets plus three extra prints of plate 1; the later 1968 printing of restrikes for the Trianon Press edition was limited to 25 sets. Essick notes see below that “In 1953-55 Rosenwald had sets printed on heavy dead-white wove paper with a surprisingly bold pebble-grain surface. The plates had to be printed with considerable pressure in order to smooth the paper sufficiently to register fine lines. In a complete suite of these restrikes in the Huntington Library San Marino California each sheet measures 35.5 50.5 cm. and is inscribed in pencil lower right “Impression taken from the copper plate in my collection 1953-4.

1982109358London: Jonathan Cape 1982. First edition of this Dahl classic which has sold over 20 million copies. Octavo original cloth illustrated by Quentin Blake. Boldly inscribed by the author on the front pastedown "Nicola Love Roald Dahl." Additionally inscribed by the illustrator Quentin Blake opposite Dahl's inscription. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Uncommon signed by both Dahl and Blake. Roald Dahl is now considered one of the most beloved storytellers of the twentieth century. Dahl's ability to twist words into a clever and creative new language is fascinating to children and is evident in BFG. The gruesome descriptions of the horrid giants and the subtle allusions to other stories will entertain children young and old. An animated adaptation was released in theatres in 1987 with David Jason providing the voice of the BFG and Amanda Root as the voice of Sophie. It was also the basis for the 2016 film directed and co-produced by Steven Spielberg written by Melissa Mathison and starring Mark Rylance Ruby Barnhill Penelope Wilton Jemaine Clement Rebecca Hall Rafe Spall and Bill Hader.

1983101467London: Jonathan Cape 1983. First edition of Dahl's Whitbread Award-winning children's novel illustrated by Quentin Blake. Octavo original cloth. Boldly signed by Roald Dahl on the half-title page. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Dahl's The Witches centers on the experiences of a young British boy and his Norwegian grandmother in a world where child-hating societies of witches secretly exist in every country. "Don't be fooled by those witches with their black hats black cloaks and broomsticks though those are not REAL WITCHES. Real witches are exceedingly difficult to spot in the wild and dress in ordinary clothes looking very much like ordinary people." Dahl's vital indicators for spotting a real witch include facts like they always wear gloves they have no toes are bald as boiled eggs and they have blue spit. "Dahl seems to have made an art form of the rediscovery that children tend to warm to the sorts of horror that make lesser mortals adults squirm with displeasure. He is undeniably special" Connolly 104. Jonathan Cape hardcover books
