First three leaves with small repairs not affecting text and reinforced in margin otherwise internally nice and clean. <br/><br/><em>The rare first edition of the first published collection of Andersen's poetry - Andersen's third published book at the age of 25 - containing at the end the first printing of any of his fairy tales being also his very first fairy tale "Dødningen et fyensk Folke-eventyr" i.e. "The Ghost" also sometime "The Spectre" "A Folk- Fairy Tale from Funen". This is the first time that Andersen uses the term "Eventyr" fairy tale the term which came to denote the genre for which he received world-wide fame as one of the most important writers of all time. "The Ghost" was later rewritten and published for the second time in Andersen's first fairy tale collection "Eventyr fortalte for Børn" PMM 299 1835 under the title "The Travelling Companion". As Andersen would later explain his first fairy tale was based upon a folk tale from Funen he had heard as a child. This seminal publication lays the foundation for Andersen's activity as an author of fairy tales. This collection furthermore contains 46 poems 20 of which are published here for the first time the rest were published separately in various periodicals. BFN 51. </em> unknown

19116271London: Hodder & Stoughton 1911. First thus. Fine. Edition Deluxe no. 20 of 100 numbered copies printed on Japanese Vellum and signed by the artist. A fine large quarto 12 1/8 x 9 3/4 inches; 309 x 249 mm. viii 250 2 pp. Mounted color frontispiece with descriptive tissue guard printed in black and twenty-seven mounted color plates included in pagination. Plates framed with thick pale green line border and accompanied by guard leaves printed in pale green with stylized pineapples on the recto and border of snowflakes above descriptive caption on the verso. Text pages with pale green snowflake borders at top and bottom. All leaves framed with double pale green lines. Original dark chocolate brown pigskin pictorially stamped with three-peacock design and lettered in gilt on front cover and spine with Hodder & Stoughton gilt-stamped at spine foot. Top edge gilt others uncut. Endpapers printed in pale green with repeated design of stylized peacocks. <br /> <br /> During his lifetime Hans Christian Andersen whose fairy tales have become a classic was second only to Charles Dickens as the most popular author in the Western world. Here his famed narratives get the artistic treatment of Dulac who brings characters to life for the reader. A stunning copy unique and arguably the finest copy of the Deluxe Edition. The binding and endpapers do not conform to Hughey's description and appear to be unique to this handsome copy. As she notes the pigskin binding "brandy colour" not dark chocolate-brown as here should only have two thin gilt rules as frame gilt lettering date 1911 on spine and white endpapers not illustrated as here and in the trade edition. Hughey who had only seen two copies of the Edition De Luxe William Randolph Hearst's and another viewed at a Washington book fair suggested that this copy was "done close to original printing time November 1911. There were a lot of oddball copies done then.The title was sold very quickly - all sold by December 1911." The endpapers here were available at the time of the trade edition and it is possible that someone or the firm did this for copy #20. Hughey also said that this "copy's binding design on front cover is clearly an adaptation of the endpapers but I do not think by Dulac as it does not appear in any of his other editions of Hans Andersen's work. Someone may not have liked the plain cover." This copy is better for the personalization. <br /> <br /> French-born anglophile Edmond Dulac 1882-1953 was one of the most prized artists of the "golden age" of book illustration. A gifted artist especially in the medium of watercolor Dulac's ability to render luxurious detail and subtle emotions is otherworldly. He is best known for his illustrations for books and magazines although he also designed for the stage and wrote music; in moments of financial insecurity he produced serialized cartoons and became an authority on postage stamp design White.<br /> <br /> Hughey 27.

C. Andersen / Kjøbenhavn Nytaars Ugen 1862." Translation: As thank for every smile I recieved in the old year from my small friend Jørgen I bring him here a picture-book and in this he will in due time read and think of his old friend H. C. Andersen. Copenhagen new-year week 1862. Julius Exner 1825-1910 was a Danish painter known for his romantic paintings of the life of the peasants. Christian Winther 1796-1876 was one of the greatest Danish poets of the 19th century. Winther is best known for his poem "Hjortens Flugt" which is considered to be one of the classics of Danish literature. The inscription is written to Jørgen Hansen Koch 1861-1935. Jørgen who was only 1 year old at the time the inscription was written later became president of the Maritime and Commercial Court and Det Classenske Fideicommis. Jørgen and his family had a close relationship with H. C. Andersen and they are mentioned frequently in his diaries. H. C. Andersen wrote in his diary that he visited the Koch family January 2 1862. It was presumably during that visit that he gave Jørgen this copy. Works of other authors inscribed by H. C. Andersen are very rare. </em> unknown

Nielsen's designs unite strong linearity with delicate colouring. Characterized by a sense of two-dimensional flatness Nielsen's objects and people are highly stylized: foxglove blossoms hang in measured asymmetry; princes and princesses stand on improbably long legs; and their garments billow in gravity-defying parabolas. The power of his illustrations lies in his uncanny ability to retrieve a story's emotional effect on its reader and to recreate it visually in two dimensions" The Oxford Companion to Fairy Tales.

1924032471<p>London: Hodder and Stoughton Limited 1924 A very good copy of the 1st edition - the 'edition du luxe' - in full gilt-decorated vellum 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. He began the work in 1912 but the disruption caused by World War I meant that it was not published until 1924 - and although a beautiful production it could not afford the number of plates that embellished East of the Sun West of the Moon his previous work. The market for expensive illustrated gift books declined significantly after the War and Nielsen only illustrated two more works before moving to Copenhagen and working on set designs for the theatre. This book is number 119 of 500 printed. The vellum binding has bright illustration. It has some grubbiness and darkening to the spine; a slight bump to the bottom front corner; and slight marking to the back board particularly the bottom corner. The spine is cocked to the front. Top page edges are gilt; side edge is untrimmed. The contents are in very bright and clean condition; occasional very light spotting to tissue guards. There is a slight crease to the tissue guard to the frontispiece and a small light brown area to the bottom margin of p 153 lightly mirrored on 152. There is a small scuff and slight loss to the bottom of the rear free endpaper. A very nice copy.</p> Hodder and Stoughton Limited hardcover
