This edition enriched by Clara Tice's racy and whimsical illustrations is an "Exact reprint of the earliest English text" and was printed in Holland by the Johann Enschedé en Zonen of Haarlem founded in 1703. The verso of the title page states it was "set entirely by hand from type cast by Joh. Enschedé en Zonen from original Didot matrices." It bears amusing legends on the tissue guards printed in red: "Their hands strayed"; "Cut off only one of the buttocks"; "Their veils dropt".<br /> <br /> Clara Tice 1888 - 1973 drew racy illustrations at a time when ladies did not engage in such things and when Anthony Comstock's Society for the Suppression of Vice was very active. Tice attracted their unwanted attention for one of her early exhibitions at Polly's Restaurant in Greenwich Village in 1915 and it helped to jump-start her career. Vanity Fair dubbed Tice the "QUEEN OF GREENWICH VILLAGE". According to The New York Times 27 June 1920 she was the first woman in Greenwich village to bob her hair. Tice also created a cartoon strip and posters and she is included in the New York Dada Movement. J. Enschedé en Zonen for the Bennett Libraries Inc unknown

425277John Lane The Bodley Head Ltd. Hardcover. Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. When he wrote this novel Voltaire gained a reputation throughout Europe as a tragic dramatist an epic poet and a liberal-minded historian. Candide although his wittiest novel deals with the problems of suffering and the existence of evil and in it Voltaire attacks the hopelessness and callousness of the 'all is for the best' philosophy as personified by the tutor Pangloss. The resilience of human nature however is emphasised in the amazing reversals of fortune which Candide and his friends survive. The artistry of Voltaire's story-telling is admirably conveyed in this translation by Richard Aldington. Illustrated by Norman TealbyFirst published in this format in 1928 this being the first reprint in 1929 The content and binding is good. The black cloth boards are rubbed and a little faded Gilded illustration to the front and gilded titles to the spine. The corners are firm the head & tail of the spine slightly crushed.
