The Water Babies

A scarce example in good plus condition of this c1910 illustrated edition in original dust jacket. Publisher’s illustrated boards very good; colours and decoration remain bright; spine top and tail just a touch bumped; spine cracking over front gutters but remains a sound and square copy. Text block age toned as expected; very light foxing to a few leaves; original 8 colour illustrations by Katherine Cameron in very good condition. Jacket near good, nicked with loss to a portion of the title to top of spine panel and nicked lesser so to tail; a couple of clean tears and a 1cm nick to mid panel; front and rear very good. 246 pp. Overall a rather lovely copy.
