19225210<p>Quarto 30.5x23.5 cm. decorated boards 14 pp. unique illustrated endpapers. Hans Christian Andersen's fable Svinedrangen with marvelous color drawings by Mstislav Dobuzhinsky 1875-1957. This production is a real tour de force with individual drawings for each endpaper to frame the story. The publisher Z.I. Grzhebin had commissioned the work to be released in a series in 1917 and the drawings are dated from that time. Grzhebin was the hightest regarded publisher in Petrograd who had exacting standards for all his releases. The revolution interrupted publication with chaotic qualities of inks and paper and the civil war complicated things further. Because of personal disputes Grzhebin was threatened with death and hastily emigrated to Berlin where he continued printing very high quality books as an émigré initially securing state funds due to his great reputation among international circles and the publishing house's reappearance was even acknowledged in Moscow as the most important of Russian publishers at home or abroad. OCLC locates 6 holdings in North America. This copy very fine with faint bookseller stamp and sticker on rear ep.</p> Z.I. Grzhebin hardcover

Although a prolific writer of plays travelogues novels and poems he is best remembered for his literary fairy tales. Andersen's fairy tales consisting of 156 stories across nine volumes have been translated into more than 125 languages. They have become culturally embedded in the West's collective consciousness readily accessible to children but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. His most famous fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes" "The Little Mermaid" "The Nightingale" "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" "The Red Shoes" "The Princess and the Pea" "The Snow Queen" "The Ugly Duckling" "The Little Match Girl" and "Thumbelina". His stories have inspired ballets plays and animated and live-action films. Illustrated By: Edmund Dulac Illustrator Bio: Edmund Dulac born Edmond Dulac; 22 October 1882 25 May 1953 was a French-British naturalised magazine illustrator book illustrator and stamp designer. He then became a regular contributor to The Pall Mall Magazine and joined the London Sketch Club which introduced him to the foremost book and magazine illustrators of the day. Through these he began an association with the Leicester Galleries and Hodder & Stoughton; the gallery commissioned illustrations from Dulac which they sold in an annual exhibition while publishing rights to the paintings were taken up by Hodder & Stoughton for reproduction in illustrated gift books publishing one book a year. Books produced under this arrangement by Dulac include Stories from The Arabian Nights 1907 with 50 colour images; an edition of William Shakespeare's The Tempest 1908 with 40 colour illustrations; The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam 1909 with 20 colour images; The Sleeping Beauty and Other Fairy Tales 1910; Stories from Hans Christian Andersen 1911; The Bells and Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe 1912 with 28 colour images and many monotone illustrations; and Princess Badoura 1913. Synopsis: Stories from Hans Andersen is a collection of classic fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen including tales of transformation courage vanity love loss and moral awakening. Andersens stories combine childlike wonder with deeper emotional and philosophical themes making them appealing to both young readers and adults. This 1911 Hodder & Stoughton edition is especially collectible for its 28 atmospheric colour plates by Edmund Dulac whose illustrations bring a rich dreamlike quality to Andersens magical worlds.

19373657641937. Softcover. Fine. A collection of 104 original artworks 85 hand-painted color illustrations and 19 woodcut prints on fine paper sheets ranging in size from about 4 ½†x 7†to 8†x 12â€. Most measure about 6†x 8â€. All are in fine condition neatly laid-in plastic sleeves in four later vintage albums. The designs are notable for their striking portraits of figures from literature with distinctive quadrilateral eyes and for their layering of dark colors often with gold and silver which gives them a three-dimensional and jewel-like luminosity similar to Persian miniature paintings. Most are signed with the monogram "AM" in paint or pencil and we know from provenance that the artist went by the name Anne Marie. We have reason to believe her full name may have been Anne Marie Bonnet and that at least some of her work was commissioned by the publisher Ben Abramson although we have been unable to discover any further information. Approximately half of the works in this collection are neatly captioned or dated by the artist in pencil various dates beginning in 1937. Also laid in are loose sheets with her handwritten captions descriptions of Egyptian deities and quotes from Hamlet and the works of Tennyson which identify the subjects in some of the portfolios but not all. The collection can be divided into various subjects: Hamlet; Selections from Alfred Lord Tennyson; "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen; Egyptian Deities; Le Morte D’Arthur; Salome; The Crusades; and The Magic Mountain. A beautiful and unique collection of highly accomplished works that appear to be for books or a series that as far as we can tell went unpublished. Further details available upon request. unknown
