First edition. A delightful review of Victorian fairy art, its history and cultural relevance. The supernatural world became an obsession for the usually studious and logical Victorian society, and fairies became a palatable subject matter for artists rebelling against increased industralisation and scientific development. Hardback with original dust jacket, unclipped.
In very good to near fine condition with light shelf wear to edges, light handling marks to covers. Generally clean and square. Bound in black cloth with an illustrated jacket, protected in a removeable plastic sleeve. 29 x 25 cm. Pp. [x], 160.
