First Flint edition, deluxe issue, number 42 of 100 copies issued with the additional suite of four colour plates, retained here in the original folder. There were also 875 copies of the trade edition and 12 copies printed on vellum and signed by the artist. William Russell Flint contributed to a number of early 20th-century editions of the Apocrypha. He was described by Charles Wheeler, the president of the Royal Academy, as an artist of "a steady hand, keen eye, and gay spirit in a shaky world" (ODNB). The introduction to this edition was provided by M. R. James. Although best-known now for his ghost stories, James had an extensive and eminent career as a biblical scholar, with a particular specialism in the apocryphal tales. His The Apocryphal New Testament (1924), a scholarly collection of all the known "apocryphal gospels, acts, epistles, and apocalypses was standard until J. K. Elliott's collection of the same name appeared in 1993" (ODNB). Ransom, p. 314. Quarto. Colour frontispiece and 3 mounted colour plates, text printed within green frames.
