BULL, René (illustrator). The Arabian Nights. London, Constable & Co. Ltd. 1912.
4to. Original purple cloth stamped elaborately in gilt with onlaid pictorial label to upper cover; unpaginated; 20 fine mounted coloured plates printed in vivid colours and set on heavier brown stock behind captioned tissue-guards, with black-and-white illustrations throughout; an unusually good copy with minor discoloration to the purple spine cloth, rubbing to joints and head and tail of spine, and faint marking to lower board; internally unusually clean and crisp with light speckling to prelims; an elusive edition.
First edition illustrated thus: a very striking and popular re-interpretation of this classic work.
