lec-1934-marco-poloLimited Editions Club LEC. hardcover. Very Good. The 1934 Limited Editions Club Travels of Marco Polo two volumes in original slipcase signed by the illustrator Nikolai Fyodorovitch Lapshin in red ink on the limitation page — copy 563 of the 1500-copy edition. This is the LEC title that won the very first illustration competition the club ran: Lapshin took a $2500 prize 1934 dollars for the assignment and the judges noted that his work 'felt like it belonged to a book.' Marco Polo and Titus Andronicus 1939-40 were Lapshin's only two LEC commissions — making this title carry a specific collector-significance beyond generic LEC collectibility.nn Edition signature: Inaugural-LEC-contest-winner edition 1934 1500 numbered copies designed by Lester Douglas and printed by Judd & Detweiler in Washington DC. This is copy #563 with Lapshin's red-ink signature on the limitation page visible in photos. Both volumes present and matched.n Books — exceptional condition: The volumes themselves are extraordinary for a 90-year-old set: spines uncracked gilt on the rust-orange leather labels still sharp and unrubbed orange paste-paper title labels with stylized Chinese characters 馬哥孛羅 crisp on the black cloth boards. Paper white throughout no foxing visible no marginalia. Reads as if it's been on a careful shelf its entire life.n Slipcase — honest 90-year wear: The original black cloth slipcase shows what every 1934 LEC slipcase shows after nine decades: corner wear at the openings where the books are inserted and an age-toned title sticker browned to a warm amber tan. Structurally intact full integrity no panels separating. The patina is part of what LEC collectors recognize as an honest unrestored copy — collectors who want a pristine slipcase are buying a different higher market tier; collectors who prefer original-as-issued land here.nnCondition: Books: like-new. Spines uncracked gilt sharp paper white throughout no foxing no marginalia no shelf wear. The volumes are exceptional for a 1934 imprint. Slipcase: honest wear consistent with 90 years of careful use. Corners at the book-insertion openings are softened and frayed; the original title sticker is browned a warm amber not damaged — the patina LEC collectors expect on unrestored period copies. Slipcase remains structurally intact with full panel integrity. Limitation page signature in red ink crisp and bold copy number 563 in red ink legible.nnThis is the configuration LEC collectors hunt for: signed limitation page intact numbered both volumes original slipcase books unread. The 1934 Marco Polo is one of the genuinely-collectible LECs vs. generic LEC titles that trade for $30-60 — inaugural-contest provenance Lapshin's only two-title presence in the Macy canon make this title specifically searched-for by Macy/LEC scholars and East-Asia-illustrated-book collectors. Active asks for the complete-and-signed configuration cluster $400-450; this is priced toward the low end of that band.nnIncluded: Both volumes Vol I Vol II original black cloth slipcase. The Monthly Letter newsletter is not present typical for circulated copies — most collectors don't track them as required for completeness. No additional ephemera or inserts.
