Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World -
Jonathan Swift, Arthur Rackham (illustrator)
1909 - J. M. Dent &, London - Number 163 of 750 signed copies on large paper
One of the world’s greatest stories by one of its greatest satirists.
A large superior and beautifully produced example of the deluxe large paper limited edition signed and magically illustrated by Arthur Rackham, including thirteen tipped-in colour plates (one more than the standard edition), two full page black and white line drawings, four chapter headings and twenty seven tailpieces. ‘Every man desires to live long, but no man wishes to be old.’ An iconic and surrealist narrative, and a savage parody on man and his institutions. On publication it was described in a letter from English poet John Gay to Swift as being ‘universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery’  More Details
