The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies
F. Warne & Co., 1909.
First edition, deluxe issue. 12mo. Brown moiré silk cloth with gilt stamped decoration and colour onlay to the upper cover. All edges gilt. Pictorial endpapers. Colour frontis and 26 colour plates by the author. A very good copy. There is a bump to the upper corner of the front board, creasing also to the corner of the initial pages of the book. Pages 32/3 have an abrasion to the lower section, causing surface loss to the page, not affecting any text, other than the page numbers.
These deluxe bindings were based on a design by Beatrix Potter and originally sold at 1/6- rather than the standard copies at 1/-.
