First Edition. First edition, with beautiful colour plates by the author. Gaze was one of the most prolific authors of books for children in this period, and this fantasy about the adventures of a small girl in a world where she meets people such as the Clerk of the Weather and the South Wind is one of his most popular works. Coppertop, and its sequelCoppertop Cruises(1920), were marvellous vehicles for Gaze's fine, opalescent-hued watercolours. The plates in these, and his other Australian-published works, 'established him as the most original illustrator of children's books after Ida Rentoul Outhwaite' (Holden,A Golden Age: Visions of Fantasy, p. 82). Born in New Zealand in 1885, a whimsical artist with outstanding talent, Harold Gaze is one of the more elusive Australasian children's writers and illustrators. We know little with exactitude about his life. After being rejected for active service, Gaze reputedly studied at various art schools in London for a period before publishing his first (recorded) book illustrations in New York in 1917: I Wish I Could Fly by Rose Strong Hubbell. At the close of World War I, Gaze moved to Melbourne and launched his career with The Wicked Winkapong in 1918. In 1927, commercial publishing success in the United States led Gaze to settle in Pasadena where he continued his dual career as a munitions expert, either remaining here until his death in 1962 or returning to England in 1959 and settling in Hampstead for his final years, dying in 1963. Solo shows of his fantasy paintings in Los Angeles earned him the appellation of âThe Bubble Man'. It is said that Gaze worked with the Disney studios on Fantasia. Work by Harold Gaze is held in the National Museum of American Illustration, the Pasadena Museum of History, and the San Diego Museum of Art, among others. Octavo, colour frontispiece and six colour plates; in the original boards with oval colour portrait onlay; the unusual dustjacket (cut to show the portrait on the front board).

First Edition. The Merry Piper is an exuburant and rambling adventure by Harold Gaze (1885-1962). Born in New Zealand, Gaze came to Melbourne in 1918 and stayed until 1921, producing a vast quantity of high quality work during a short space of time. He published four books in 1919 alone. Many of the plates that adorn his books were probably produced before the Melbourne publishing period, and a few clearly date as far back as 1910. One of the most enigmatic Australasian juvenile illustrators, little is known of his early life or artistic training. Commercial publishing success in the United States eventually led Gaze to settle in Pasadena where he continued his dual career as a munitions expert, truly an odd blend of violence and sensitivity. Gaze is a confident and skilful watercolourist, a master of the opaque application technique that gives his work a feel of magical translucence. The plates and vignettes are reminiscent of the work of Arthur Rackham and Charles Folkard although Gaze's work seems to lack their underlying sinister qualities. Many images are bizarre, but never macabre. Solo shows of his fantasy paintings in Los Angeles earned him the appellation of âThe Bubble Man'. It is said that Gaze worked with the Disney studios on Fantasia. Work by Harold Gaze is held in the National Museum of American Illustration, the Pasadena Museum of History, and the San Diego Museum of Art, among others. First English edition. Small quarto, original decorated cloth (spine rubbed), frontispiece and seven full-page colour plates, numerous line drawings, illustrated endpapers; localised tide-mark affects the top-edge margin of the frontispiece, otherwise this book is in very good order. Contemporary ownership inscription on half-title page.

Gaze, Harold (illustrator). First Edition. Signed by Harold Gaze on the half-title, this is the first American edition of an Australian classic. A story about a young girl called Cecilia who visits the clerk of the weather with her imaginary brothers Tibbs and Kiddiwee. They visit the Castles of the Four Winds, the Himalayas and the Blarney Stone. Large octavo, coloured frontispiece, 11 coloured plates, 13 black & white plates, 6 drawings in text; original boards.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Melbourne, Whitcombe & Tombs Limited, [1919]. Quarto, [32] pages with 8 line illustrations plus 3 tipped-in full-page plates (2 in colour); most pages have a green decorative border around the text and illustration. Ribbon-bound slightly overlapping thin card covers (trimmed a little from the original size to tidy up chipped edges, but the edges of the saddle-stapled text are uncut); large colour plate mounted on the front panel (the same image as the first tipped-in plate); covers a little marked, top edge slightly chipped and creased, with minimal conservation to the extremities; ribbon renewed; early gift inscription on the half-title; trifling signs of use; a very good copy (internally excellent). 'The Mite Merry Series'; the list of the three titles in the series (all three are books of children's verse written and illustrated by Gaze) is printed on the second page. Harold Gaze (1885-1962) was born in New Zealand, studied in London, lived and worked in Australia in the late 1910s and the 1920s, before settling in 1927 in the USA, where he is perhaps better known. His books in this series are rare in our experience. Muir 2700.

Rare. Harold Gaze (1885-1962) was one of the most original Australian illustrators of fantasy. He was born in New Zealand and studied in London around 1914. After the first world war he moved to Australia and lived in Melbourne where he illustrated his first book. He later returned to London to continue his career before moving to the USA in 1927 where he became the author-illustrator of several children's books and worked for Disney Studios for many years.

Zustand des Schutzumschlags: dj. First Edition. First US edition of the marvelous fantasy adventure by the New Zealander artist, in the scarce original dust jacket. The story is about a little girl who meets all manner of strange gnomes, fairies and creatures after she goes to sleep at night. Except for a short stint at art school in London, Gaze was largely a self-taught artist. Eventually he moved to Pasadena, where he did some work for the Disney Studio. Gaze's work will likely appeal to those who appreciate Rackham and Outhwaite. 9'' x 7''. Original blue gilt-stamped pictorial cloth. (1924 B-Y.) Illustrated by Gaze with 12 beautiful color plates plus many full- and partial-page fanciful line illustrations. 338 pages. Last illustration slightly out of register. Jacket chipped at spine ends, with several tape repairs to verso. Fine in very good minus jacket.

Zustand: Near fine. First Edition. First edition of this scarce Melbourne-printed fairy book from the New Zealander artist, one of three books in the Mite Merry Series that were "milestones" in Australian children's book production. This story in verse features a gorgeously illustrated koala, fairy and a strange animal with the body of an emu and a camel's head. Except for a short stint at art school in London, Gaze was largely a self-taught artist. Eventually he moved to Pasadena, where he did some work for the Disney Studio. Gaze didn't illustrate a large number of books, but his work is distinctive and wonderful. Robert Holden describes the books in this series: "by Australian standards these titles were milestones in the history of children's book production. Their large quarto format and pleasing typography and layout were indicative of the publisher's understandable enthusiasm and belief that a major new talent had arrived." A great copy of a rare book. 10'' x 7.5''. Original side-stitched blue paper wrappers, color paste-on. Illustrated by Gaze with 3 tipped-in full-page plates (two in color) and 8 pen-and-ink drawings in-text. [32] pages. Faint corner stain on front wrapper, light rubbing to edges, else clean and bright: difficult to find in this condition.

In California Gaze worked with Disney and continued to publish. He remained in America until his death in 1963.

Harold Gaze was born in New Zealand and studied at art school in London during the First World War, after which he moved to Melbourne where he wrote and illustrated a number of books for children. He later returned to London and settled in Pasadena, California in 1927 where he resided until his death, working with Disney and continuing to publish.
