A Midsummer Night's Dream

Brilliantly rendered edition of Shakespeare's classic comedy, with the beautiful original pen-and-ink & full color drawings & cover design of English illustrator Arthur Rackham (16 full-color & 14 duotone illustrations throughout the unpaginated text). It faithfully reproduces the text of the original manuscript commissioned & purchased by the Spencer Collection of the New York Public LIbrary in 1928, with the stunning calligraphy of Graily Hewitt. A First Edition, First Printing in this format (First, Thus) by Abaris Books from 1977, this oversized hardcover is in Fine condition (our highest grade), with brilliantly colored bright green cloth-over-boards & gilt design to front/lettering to spine. Looks & feels just a tad less crisp than Brand New! Completely clean, binding strong & straight, pages white, NO foxing or tanning. NO writing/highlighting/underlining; NOT ex-lib. Virtually flawless save for a slight wrinkle to last page. The unclipped DJ is VG, marred only by slight edgewear, including a few tiny chips to top edge of both front & back covers & a triangular crease above the final "R" in title on front.
