Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Wilson, Joyce Lancaster (illustratore). Limited Edition. One of 500 copies, quarto size, 114 pp., signed by Joyce Lancaster Wilson. The Press in Tuscany Alley was one of San Francisco's small private press jewels. Adrian Wilson (1924-1988) was both a book designer and a scholar, authoring "The Design of Books" which is regarded as a classic text on book design. As the New York Times stated in his obituary "Mr. Wilson designed and printed scores of books, and became a mentor to younger men and women eager to learn the printer's craft. His many volumes, while little-known to the general public, are famous among print connoisseurs, and many are collector's items." "This edition contains nine poems which were part of Robert Louis Stevenson's projected book of verses for children, but which were omitted from the first edition of 1885 and all subsequent ones. These are taken from a trial printing in 1883 of which only three copies are extant. The volume is enhanced by an Introduction by Janet Adam Smith" (n.b., from prospectus, not present with this volume), and color illustrations by Adrian's wife, Joyce Lancaster Wilson. A heartbreaklingly lovely book, a perfect marriage of Stevenson's wonderful poems for children with Joyce Wilson's charming pictures, designed by the master, Adrian Wilson. ___DESCRIPTION: Original quarter green linen with a paper spine label, decorative green paper covered boards printed at The Press, fore-edge uncut, thirty-six decorative initials and ten illustrations in colour by Joyce Lancaster Wilson; types Centaur and Arrighi, Arches Laid Text paper, quarto size (10 1/8" x 6.5"), pagination: [1-10] 11-114 [1 colophon], limited edition, one of 500 copies (only 300 of which were bound), this copy designated "o/s" (out of series) above the signature of Joyce Lancaster Wilson (this copy not signed by Adrian Wilson). ___CONDITION: Fine overall, the boards clean and unmarked, straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and it is entirely free of prior owner markings; a hint of sunning to the top edges of the boards and and light offsetting to the endpapers, else fine. ___CITATION: "The Work and Play of Adrian Wilson", no. 182. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply, please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
