JOHN DIETRICH AND OTHER STORIES FROM THE FAIRY BOOK
by (Art Nouveau Binding) Ward, Mrs. Humphrey
London & New York: Thomas Nelson & Sons, (ca. 1915). 12mo. A very nice copy of one of the books in the Golden River Series. Bound in the original blue cloth with a cover design in black with gilt lettering. The design has a European Art Nouveau look with a mixture of somewhat conventional foliage and geometric flower design. Just to make sure all the bases are covered there are the "three squares" elements from the Scottish turn of the century contingent. A lovely binding in very good condition. Illustrated with eight color plates by various artists including Granville Fell. (Inventory #: 1968)
