Aesop's Fables. Arthur Rackham signed limited edition #656/1000. Published 1912

Up for sale is the fantastic version of Aesop's Fables published 1912 by William Heinemann London and Doubleday New York. This is the Arthur Rackham illustrated signed, limited edition. This is copy 656 of 1000.

Nice decorative edition with hand cut paper, gilt decorated boards etc. Wear and soiling to the white boards is the biggest issue. Probably could be fairly easily cleaned but I will leave that to the next owner.

Some fraying at edges of boards particularly at spine. Interior with some browning to the pages, previous bookseller pencil pricing and book information to blank end page. Other small dings here and there. A nice but not perfect copy. Large book (Approximately 9.5 x 12 inches).
