1909 The Tailor of Gloucester
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding
First published in 1903, this is an exceptionally lovely 1909 printing of Potter's beloved work, identified by the presence of Quinby plate VII endpapers, and the date 1903 to the colophon.
Beautifully illustrated in colour in Potter's typical style, with twenty-seven plates. Collated, complete.
A charming children's work from Beatrix Potter. For years, Potter declared that of all her books this was her personal favourite. She tells the story of a tailor whose work on a waistcoat is finished by the grateful mouse he rescues from his cat.
Condition
In the publisher's original paper covered boards. Minor bumping to spine head and tail, otherwise externally excellent. Internally, firmly bound. Pages exceptionally clean and bright.
