Third Heath Robinson edition. The works of Rabelais illustrated by William Heath Robinson were commissioned by Grant Richards and first published as two large quarto volumes in 1904. Heath Robinson "chose a grotesque style which emphasized the earthiness of the epic while overlooking the bawdy" (ODNB). The resulting book became one of the illustrator's most notable achievements, artistically speaking as well as for the gargantuesque number of illustrations produced. Scarce in the dust jackets. 2 vols, octavo. Monochrome frontispieces with tissue guards and 254 black and white illustrations in the text, including 100 full-page, all by Heath Robinson. Original blue moiré cloth, titles and climbing vine decoration to spines gilt, fleur-de-lys device and twin rules to front boards gilt, top edges gilt. With dust jackets.

Heath Robinson would later develop his individual style and draw ridiculous contraptions, thereby giving his name as a noun to the English language.- The Athenaeum, 24 October 1914, p. 428; Alan Horne, The Dictionary of 20th Century British Book Illustrators, 1994.

First edition, limited edition, number 12 of 250 copies signed by the artist. The Athenaeum included the book as being "books published this week" on 24 October 1914, and it was issued in both a trade and a remarkably small signed limited edition. The Saturday Review of Politics, Literature, Science and Art reviewed the volume in December 1914 and stated "the book. is an obvious prize for anyone who desires Shakespeare decorated and defined. Messrs. Constable, in format, printing, and binding, have, as usual, given to their work high quality and care". Alan Horne notes that "perhaps Robinson's best work was done for the 1913 Andersen, for A Midsummer Night's Dream and for two books for children which he wrote as well as illustrated - The Adventures of Uncle Lubin (1902) and Bill the Minder (1912)" (p. 373).
