Sleeping Beauty and other fairy tales by Sir A. Q. Couch, Edmund Dulac illustr.
Located in Middletown, NY
SINGED LIMITED EDITION
This superbly illustrated volume is one of Dulac's finest works, produced at a time when book illustration had reached its peak. The book was immensely popular and the limited edition sold out before publication. It was "issued for the Christmas market and was a runaway success. Dulac's bibliographer.... identifies at leat 16 British and American commercial editions published before the end of the 1930s." (100 Great Books Famous in Children's Literature. Chicago, Univ. of Chicago Press/ Grolier Club, 2015; p. 212)
In the monograph on Dulac by Colin White (London: Studio Vista, 1976) the author points to the special coloring of the plates "... a wide range of colors, from the well-known blues to the newer combinations of orange and yellow, and showed Dulac's superb invention at its most imaginative." (pp. 46-47). He won two gold medals at the 1911 Barcelona International Exhibition for a submission that included one of the original drawings for this book (pl. 31).
The collection includes four classic French tales: Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Blue Beard, and Beauty and the Beast, and is beautifully bound in London by Sangorski & Sutcliffe.
