Prefatory note by the illustrator, dated 1907. "The Ingoldsby Legends, or Mirth and Marvels" is a collection of myths, legends, ghost stories and poetry written supposedly by Thomas Ingoldsby of Tappington Manor, actually a pen-name of an English clergyman named Richard Harris Barham. The legends were first printed during 1837 as a regular series in the magazine Bentley's Miscellany and later in New Monthly Magazine. They proved immensely popular and were compiled into books published in 1840, 1842 and 1847 by Richard Bentley.

Erstausgabe
First expanded Rackham edition, handsomely bound by Bayntun. As the artist explains in his prefatory note, Rackham made this revision so that "greater prominence could be given to the illustrations by better and larger reproductions, including a greater number of illustrations in colour". The first Rackham edition was published in 1898, on smaller paper, with half the number of colour plates and without tinted plates. These popular tales, which were purportedly based on the author's discovery of old documents, were in fact mostly reworkings of known narrative sources such as Kentish myth and Sir Walter Scott. Thomas Ingoldsby was the pseudonym of Richard Harris Barham (1788-1845), whose "knowledge of such areas as heraldry and witchcraft also lends a degree of authenticity to the Legends" (ODNB). Initially appearing in the serial Bentley's Miscellany in 1837, the tales were first published in book form in 1840 and inspired numerous illustrators. Latimore & Haskell, p. 11; Riall, p. 83. Quarto (246 x 185 mm). Mid-20th-century red morocco by Bayntun, spine lettered in gilt, decorative frame in compartments enclosing gilt devices, sides and corners ruled in gilt, red cloth sides, marbled endpapers, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed. Colour frontispiece and 23 colour plates tipped to dark green paper, as issued, with captioned tissue guards, 12 tinted plates, and line drawings in the text, all by Rackham. Title page printed in red and brown with decorative border. Title page annotated in pencil with the pseudonymous author's real name; pressed flower at p. 167. Spine sunned, gilt unaffected and bright, sporadic light foxing, plates clean. An attractive copy.

Published within The Ingoldsby Legends in 1907. This fine watercolour accompanies "The Tragedy", a story in verse of Catherine of Cleves and her love for Monsieur St. Megrin. It was reproduced opposite page 184 and is one of the 24 colour plates. The published plate shows the dates "[18]98 & [19]07" on a panel. These have been overpainted on the original artwork. Rackham's first version of The Ingoldsby Legends was published in 1898. A revised and coloured edition was published in 1907 with a note by Rackham stating that "many of the pen drawings have been reconsidered and worked on again - those which have been worked on to any great extent being now signed with both dates, 1898 and 1907". Exhibited: Leicester Galleries, London, October - November 1910, item 57 (sold to "Mrs Krauss").

Gray cloth with gilt lettering and black illustrations to upper cover and backstrip. Binding lightly worn at edges. § Later edition. A very handsome presentation of Barham's hugely popular tales, first issued serially in 1837. Writing under the pseudonym of Thomas Ingoldsby of Tappington Manor, Barham's collection of myths, ghost stories, and poetry was so influential that for well over a hundred years even fictional characters referred to it warmly (Allan Quatermain and Lord Peter Wimsey among many others). Rackham's illustrations are perfectly suited to the stories, supernatural, whimsical, and comic in turn. Latimore & Haskell p. 30. Riall p. 30.

Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Zustand: Near fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: very good +. Rackham, Arthur (illustrator). First Edition. First trade edition with additional Rackham illustrations on enlarged paper, quarto size, 568 pp., in original dust jacket. This book was first published in 1898 with only twelve illustrations, this being the first trade edition of the newly enlarged version of 1907, which had many new illustrations. British illustrator Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) is credited with renewing interest in book illustration at a vital moment of advances in printing technology. The subtle colours and thin feral lines were unlike anything that had come before, as if plucked from the fog of a wild imagination, breathing new life into the whole of children's book illustration. The somewhat grotesque quality of Rackham's figures are perfectly suited for the metrical myths, legends, and ghost stories written by Richard Harris Barham (1788-1845), an English clergyman who is best known by his pen name Thomas Ingoldsby. ___DESCRIPTION: Publisher's olive-green buckram with gilt pictorial stamping and lettering to the front and spine, top-edge gilt, fore- and tail-edges uncut, illustrated olive endpapers, title in red and olive-green within pictorial border, richly illustrated with twenty-four colour plates mounted on heavy olive paper with captioned tissue guards, twelve full-page tinted illustrations, and sixty-six drawings within the text; quarto size (10 1/8" by 7 7/8"), pagination: [i-viii] ix-xix 1-549, reprint of the 1898 edition on enlarged paper with additional illustrations, first trade thus. With the scarce original brown dust jacket printed in dark-green, the front panel with an upper banner and lettering which mirror the binding, price on spine of 15/- net, back panel with publisher's ad for "Some Acceptable Presents" which includes Palgrave's "Golden Treasury" illustrated by R. Anning Bell and two others, both flaps blank. ___CONDITION: A near fine copy, the cloth binding clean, the gilt on both front and spine bright and unrubbed, the corners straight with a faint hint of rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, internally bright and free of prior owner markings, the plates all present as called for; foxing limited to a couple of faint spots on the title-page, minor slight shelf wear at edges (none so much as to cause fraying to the cloth), overall a near fine copy. The dust jacket is quite uncommon and suffers only from some minor chipping to joints and corners (with old prior owner tape repair to these on verso), none obscuring the text, overall very bright and clean; very good. ___CITATION: Latimore and Haskell, p. 30; Riall, p. 83. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
