Originally published in 1911, this is a later reprint from 1921 by Hodder \u0026amp; Stoughton, London. A hardback with twenty charming colour plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the landmark books of the Golden Age of Illustration. It was the first major Dulac‑illustrated edition of the tales retold by Laurence Housman, and it established Dulac as a direct rival to Arthur Rackham in the deluxe gift‑book market. The stories provide Dulac with scenes of palaces, deserts, sorcery, and nocturnal colour work—some of his most atmospheric plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents: Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves; The Story of the Wicked Half‑Brothers; The Princess of Deryabar; The Magic Horse; The Fisherman and the Genie; The King of the Ebony Isles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the pages are clean and tightly bound with the occasional spot and handling mark. No writing or other markings of previous ownership. Has a crack to the front hinge giving the front board a wobble, but the binding of the text block is good and strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlive-green cloth over boards have illustrated paste-down to the front board, along with ornate gold and maroon-red decoration. Gilt titles to the spine. Again in good order. Has a couple of small chips to the left edge of the front paste down. Mild rubbing to corners and spine ends. Has a 0.5 cm split at the spine head (see photos), and a little fraying at the spine head joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour antique copy of The Arabian Nights will be wrapped with care in tissue and ribbon* and sent well packaged.
