The typical offsetting on free endpapers from binder's glue used for turn-ins very small very faint areas of transfer from acidic mounts used for color plates wherever tissue guard doesn't fully cover a facing leaf other trivial imperfections but still QUITE A LOVELY COPY clean and fresh internally and in an unworn handsome binding.<br/> <br/> In a fine binding by an eminent English workshop this is Rackham's take on the famous fables populated with charming animals anthropomorphized to just the right degree along with wistful maidens ancient crones and some seriously sinister trees. Arthur Rackham 1867-1939 studied art at Lambeth School where the work of his fellow student Charles Ricketts influenced his development. As Houfe says soon after Rackham joined the staff of "The Westminster Budget" in 1892 he began concentrating "on the illustration of books and particularly those of a mystical magic or legendary background. He very soon established himself as one of the foremost Edwardian illustrators and was triumphant in the early 1900s when color printing first enabled him to use subtle tints and muted tones to represent age and timelessness. Rackham's imaginative eye saw all forms with the eyes of childhood and created a world that was half reassuring and half frightening. His sources were primarily Victorian and among them are evidently the works of Cruikshank Doyle Houghton and Beardsley but also the prints of Dürer and Altdorfer." After studying under and then working for Douglas Cockerell Francis Sangorski and George Sutcliffe founded their own bindery in 1901 and continued in a successful partnership until 1912. During that year the firm suffered three major blows: their famously splendid jewelled binding dubbed the "Great Omar" was lost on the Titanic; a few weeks after this accident Francis himself drowned; and Francis' brother Alberto who had been a central figure in producing the firm's vellum illuminated manuscripts went over to Riviere. Despite these losses the firm grew and prospered employing a staff of 80 by the mid-1920s and becoming perhaps the most successful English bindery of the 20th century. This special binding was created as a Christmas present and includes a hand-illuminated leaf from the bindery possibly done by Alberto before he moved to Riviere. Such a grand presentation could only have been reserved for a special patron and in this case the "Edmund" would have been Edmund DeWitt Brooks 1866-1919 the substantial bookseller and bibliophile from Minneapolis. The present volume stands as a monument to a very close friendship between Brooks as well as his wife and namesake son on one side of the Atlantic and Sangorski & Sutcliffe on the other. With a special interest in literary works particularly in fine bindings Brooks came to know his supplier through annual book-buying trips abroad see Lee Edmonds Grove's 1945 memoir "Of Brooks & Books" for an account of that relationship. Grove says that the nature of the friendship was so strong that the binders invited Brooks to stay in a specially outfitted room at their premises rather than in a hotel during his London visits. Although our Aesop was inscribed to the father his son Edmund William Brooks 1900-85 so 12 at the time the present volume was signed continued the family connection with Sangorski & Sutcliffe for many years. The "EMB" and "EWB" bookplates belonged to Edmund's wife Edith M. Brooks 1862-1957 and son Edmund who apparently lived together in the family home after the elder Edmund died. Although we don't know the identity of "Roxy" we do know that the "To Roxy from Edmund" inscription is in the same hand as an identical one made--surely by our younger Edmund as printer/publisher--at the front of a copy of "The Book of Ruth" issued in 1934 by the Reed Pale Press that copy being offered for sale in 2022 by Under the Hill Books.
