Limited edition, one of 24 hand painted copies, part of a larger limitation of 225 deluxe copies printed on Japon Vellum and containing the suite of illustrations in two states, this being number 111. Publisher's deluxe binding by Sangorski & Sutcliffe. Quarter tan morocco over patterned paper-covered boards with titles in gilt…to the spine. Top edge gilt, the others untrimmed. "One of 24 copies hand-painted" in manuscript red ink to the limitation page. Illustrated with two sets of six captioned tissue-guarded plates by Stuart Blanch, with one set hand-coloured and numerous head-pieces, the first hand-coloured. Contained within the original quarter morocco over tan cloth fleece-lined slipcase. A very good copy indeed, the binding square and firm with minor rubbing to the extremities, a little wear to the corners and a touch of fading to the spine. The contents, with a minor tear to a couple of the tissue guards are otherwise wonderfully clean and bright throughout and remain free from any previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. The plates remain bold and fresh. A most attractive copy. Signed by the editor, N. M. Penzer, and illustrator, Stuart Blanch, in ink to the limitation page. A beautifully produced edition of Lucian's satirical dialogues, embellished with a suite of exquisitely hand painted semi-erotic plates. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
