Eleven of the 30 illustrations were coloured through stencils at the Curwen Press. Ivy Jacquier (or Mrs. Ivy Skinner, 1890 - ?), was a French born painter and book illustrator. For the Nonesuch Press she also illustrated James Thomson's "The Seasons" (1927). - Tape residue marks in the corners of the end-papers (see 2nd picture), but otherwise an excellent copy. - Dreyfus 57. - [Extra shipping cost will be charged for destinations out with Europe].
