Copy number 233 of 500 signed by Kay Nielsen on the limitation page. With 12 tipped-in colour plates 16 full page black and white plates and numerous designs by Nielsen. This was Kay Nielsen's third illustrated book begun in 1912 but not published until 1924 because of the disruption caused by World War I. The tales chosen include The Snow Queen and The Red Shoes and Nielsen's illustrations perfectly complement the text. The binding has small gilt-decorated raised bands to the spine creating 3 compartments - the top one with gilt titles and the other 2 with a decorative gilt design. It is in near fine clean and sound condition with very light rubbing to the surface and edges. The endpapers are marbled with the small stamp of Birdsall - Northampton and London to the bottom of the front pastedown. They were one of the major British bookbinders from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century - finally ceasing to trade in 1961. Top page edges are gilted; remainder untrimmed. The contents are complete and very clean. There are some small splits at the front endpaper joint but the book is sound. There is a small spot in the side margin of p118 where the surface has been lost and has attached to the side margin of p119. There is very slight browning at the page edges.

Nielsen's illustrations were influenced by oriental art the style of Aubrey Beardsley and the Art Nouveau movement. He was immensely popular in the early 20th century the Golden Age of Illustration which lasted from when Daniel Vierge and other pioneers developed printing technology to the point that drawings and paintings could be reproduced with reasonable facility. Nielsen is also known for his collaborations with Disney for whom he contributed many story sketches and illustrations not least for Fantasia. Nielsen was renowned at the Disney studio for his concept art and he contributed artwork for many Disney films including concept paintings for a proposed adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid. The adaptation was to be part of a package film containing various segments based on Andersen's fairy tales. The film was made over 50 years after his involvement with Disney. .

1924032649<p>London: Hodder and Stoughton Limited 1924 A good to very good copy of the 1st edition - the 'edition du luxe' - in dark blue decorative cloth binding signed by Kay Nielsen. With 12 tipped-in colour plates 16 full page black and white plates and numerous designs by Nielsen. This was Nielsen's third book illustration begun in 1912 but not published until 1924 because of the disruption caused by World War I. It is a beautiful and expensive production but the changing market for colour plate books meant that it had to have fewer colour plates than Nielsen's earlier works. This book is number 378 of 500 printed. The blue cloth binding has bright gilt decoration and titles to the front board and spine. The front board is bright and clean with light corner and edge wear. The spine is dulled with a lot of pulling to the top and bottom and the back board is clean but with some scuff marks and light corner and edge wear. There is a small ink spot to the bottom page edges not visible from inside the book. The contents are complete and in very good to near fine clean condition. The book is slightly shaken and there is occasional light brown spotting in the gutter and the occasional light mark elsewhere - principally to preliminaries and end leaves.</p> Hodder and Stoughton Limited hardcover
