Minor foxing affecting only some tissue guards,remainder of contents fine. Dust jacket complete but for some worming holes to outer edge, and with fading to rear panel
xii, 103p. 4to. Illustrated by Vernon Hill with twenty-five drawings in his unique fantasy style. Gray cloth with titles and pictorial design in gilt, t.e.g. In the very rare dust jacket which repeats the cover design in red
"Elves and fairies, demons and witches run riot through these pages and dance through the pictures. Here we have a revel of the bizarre, the whimsical, the extraordinary... "These designs for Ballads Weird and Wonderful are indeed not only illustrations but decorations: they touch the soul with pity and with terror; they have the quality, the peculiar quality, of forming in the mind a permanent picture, long after the merely beautiful becomes an evanescent memory. Mr. Hill's work is such stuff as dreams are made of." (Introduction) "Hill was primarily a wood-carver, most of whose illustrative work was done in the years 1910-12. His major achievements here were his designs for Ballads Weird and Wonderful and The New Inferno, both of which were collections of verse, the literary form most suitable for symbolic illustration. An important influence on him was Blake; it is seen in his often symmetrical compositions, the differences of scale of his figures, and their physique (which also show Hill's feeling for sculpture)." Peppin. Fantasy, The Golden Age of Fantastic Illustration, p. 18. See p. 155 in Peppin for an illustration form this book. Rare.
