FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF WIND IN THE WILLOWS
The Wind in the Willows
Methuen, 1913.
First UK edition illustrated by Bransom, first issue. 8vo. Green cloth with gilt lettering on spine and upper cover, black and white vignette on upper cover. Top edge gilt and others untrimmed. Pictorial endpapers and 10 colour plates by Paul Bransom, as well as one in black and white by Graham Robertson. A very good copy indeed, with a little wear to the spine ends and a couple of light marks to the covers.
This is the first illustrated version of Grahame's tales of the river bank. The first edition of the book has only the frontispiece by Robertson and no other illustrations. Bransom is the first of many to enjoy the role of illustrator.
