The Water Babies

KINGSLEY, Charles / CAMERON, Katharine

CAMERON, Katharine The Water Babies

TC & EC Jack, 1920.

Early edition. 8vo. Green cloth with black decoration and colour plate on upper cover. Eight colour plates by this collectable Scottish artist. A very good copy.

Katherine Cameron (1874-1965) was one of the group of female artists to emerge from the Glasgow School at the end of the nineteenth century known collectively as the 'Glasgow Girls'. Her style, with its "bold outlines and vivid colours" (Rosemary Addison) and characteristic combination of Art Nouveau and Celtic Revival lent itself perfectly to the more fantastic elements of book illustration. Her illustrations for this work are delicate and ethereal in some cases, while boldly coloured and Pre-Raphaelite in others.
