1924115524London: Hodder and Stoughton 1924. Nielsen's superb edition of Hans Andersen First trade edition first impression of one of the most beautiful editions of Andersen's fairy tales work for which Nielsen had begun in 1912. "Though Dulac only indirectly used Art Nouveau Kay Nielsen the Danish artist combined the bizarre side of the movement and its exquisite motifs as used by Beardsley with oriental influences in pattern and decoration. Like Dulac Nielsen also designed stage sets and costumes and this theatrical interest showed itself in his book illustration in exotic stage-like settings and the use of symbolism. Nielsen also chose the fairy tale as the vehicle for his elaborate talents" Walley & Chester A History of Children's Book Illustration 1988 p.156. Quarto. Colour frontispiece and 11 mounted colour plates with captioned tissue guards full-page illustrations decorations and initial letters throughout from line drawings by Kay Nielsen.

FIRST EDITION OF THE QUARTO PRINTING. This collection of sixteen tales was initiated by Nielsen in 1912 though it was not published until 1924. Andersen's beloved tales were an excellent inspiration for Nielsen who produced some of his finest images for this title.<br> Sixteen of Andersen's tales are included. Interestingly 'The Little Mermaid' is not included among them. In 1937 Nielsen went to work for Walt Disney. He was renowned at the Disney studio for his concept art and he contributed artwork for many Disney films. Around 1940 he produced concept paintings for a proposed adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Little Mermaid'. The film however was not made within Nielsen's lifetime. The paintings however would remain with the studio for over 40 years and did not go unused they provided much of the look and style of Disney's 1989 film. That film is given credit for breathing life back into the art of animated feature films and remains one of the studios most popular features to date. Hodder and Stoughton hardcover
