LE CAIN, Errol King Arthur's Sword Told and Illustrated by Le Cain
Faber and Faber, 1968.
First edition. 4to. Pictorial paper boards in pictorial dustwrapper. Pictorial endpapers and lots of colour plates by Le Cain. A fine copy in a near fine dustwrapper.
Le Cain's first book, brilliantly illustrated. A small print run, so quite elusive. In this work Le Cain's art is very reminiscent of Nielsen, Beardsley and Clarke. His inspiration for the drawings is taken from medieval manuscripts and features elaborate borders around the text.
