Leather Binding. Condizione: Near Fine. First Edition. Copy #XXV of 50 deluxe numbered copies. This deluxe portfolio edition features the full leatherbound book, and a portfolio of all 52 plates (26 of Robinson's wood-engravings, signed and numbered XXV/L by Robinson, and the additional suite of 26 smaller illustrations by Robinson accompanied by a large hand-calligraphed initial by Betse (Elisabeth) Curtis in red ink, signed by both Robinson and Curtis). The book is bound in full red morocco, illustrated with 26 wood-engravings and 26 line drawings by Robinson, with 26 hand-lettered initials by Curtis, together with her elaborate hand-lettered colophon (also signed by Robinson); the portfolio of prints is bound in quarter red morocco over tan linen. The works are housed in publisher's red morocco-backed clamshell box with tan linen boards, lined with brown silk. The book and portfolio case are fine; four of the prints on verso have archival Japanese-tissue hinging at top (entirely removable), and the portfolio has fading and wear to leather spine and spotting to spine and covers. Laid in loose are a) the original prospectus for this work; b) the 'Cheloniidae' illustrated broadside dated 1982 signed by Robinson; c) Robinson's 5-page artist's CV from 1982, 8 1/2 x 11 inches, stapled; Quill & Brush's 2-page price list of works by Robinson, ca. 1982.

Prima edizione Copia autografata
Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Hardcover. UNIQUE COPY WITH A SET OF THE 26 ORIGINAL PENCIL DRAWINGS BY ALAN JAMES ROBINSON. There were 300 copies of this book published; 200 were regular copies, 50 were deluxe copies with quarter leather binding and 50 others bound in full leather. The deluxe editions were issued with a set of proofs of the wood engravings and a set of proofs of the line-cut initials, with a large calligraphic manuscript initial beneath each image. The wood engraving proofs are lettered and signed by Robinson, and the line-cut proofs are signed both by Robinson and the calligrapher, Elizabeth Curtis. This copy shows some variation from the copies described in the prospectus. The colophon has been signed and numbered VI of L and internally seems to be a straightforward copy of the deluxe full leather edition. The binding varies somewhat from that pictured in the prospectus but uses many of the same elements. Also, the chemise is thicker that the regular chemise because it contains the 26 pencil drawings. This may have been a special copy prepared by Robinson for a particular subscriber/collector. This wonderful abecedary illustrates each letter of the alphabet with a masterful wood engraving by Robinson. Each animal is described at the bottom of its page in texts chosen primarily from the earliest first-hand accounts of the animal depicted. The descriptions are printed in red. The printed source of each text is identified, and at the end of the book there is a detailed and useful bibliography of these sources. A page with a small, different illustration of the animal precedes each animal's page, with the calligraphic letter written in red by Curtis. The animals depicted are often wondrous and strange, and some, such as the basilisk, may never have actually existed. This is a two volume folio (including a chemise containing an additional suite of illustrations, and the group of original pencil drawings). The bound volume is in full red morocco, done by David Bourbeau of the Thistle Bindery. The covers have a large central, slightly sunken panel, with the title in red and black and with a Sea Turtle device blocked in blind (Cheloniidae is the name for a species of sea turtles). The proofs contained in the chemise are unbound as issued within the original red morocco-backed, linen cloth covered boards. Both volumes are housed in a red morocco-backed cloth covered box, with the spine lettered and dated in gilt and a small Sea Turtle device in blind. "The blocks were cut by the artist at the Cheloniidae Press & printed by Harold P. McGrath in the summer of 1982. Mackenzie-Harris set the types in monotype with some hand-setting by Arthur Larson. The text was compiled and annotated by Laurie Block. The hand calligraphy is by Betsy Curtis. The paper is Rives lightweight" (from the colophon). The 8-page prospectus is laid in. A remarkable production from this press. In fine condition. PRI/020112.
