Signed limited edition, number 19 of 600 copies signed by the artist, together with the bookplate of Jan Pie kowski and David Walser. A publisher's advert stated "there is only one edition of Hansel and Gretel, which is limited to 500 copies" (TLS, 3 December 1925). Evidently demand increased the limitation but, with no trade edition, this is a scarce book. The publishers noted "the art of Kay Nielsen has never been shown to greater advantage than in these truly wonderful illustrations to Grimm's Fairy Stories. The draughtsmanship, the decorative skill, and the fairy imagination are unique, and place Mr Kay Nielsen as one of the greatest of illustrators and decorative artists. This magnificent volume is also a fine example of the engraver's and bookmaker's art". "Nielsen is a brilliant colourist and a highly decorative illustrator, his works formed into frieze-like patterns, are closest to Persian or Middle-Eastern designs and therefore akin to Leon Bakst or Edmund Dulac" (Houfe, p. 401). The Polish-born Jan Pie kowski (1936-2022) was an award-winning illustrator and writer of books for children, and a designer of moveable books. He is chiefly remembered for his illustrations to the "Meg and Mog" series. The first book, Meg and Mog, was originally published in 1972. After the death in 2012 of the original author, Helen Nicoll, the series was continued by Pie kowski together with David Walser. Times Literary Supplement, 3 December 1925; Simon Houfe, The Dictionary of British Book Illustrators and Caricaturists 1800-1914, 1981. Quarto. Original parchment-backed orange boards, spine lettered in gilt on morocco lettering piece, illustrated endpapers, top edge gilt. Original slipcase. Colour frontispiece and 11 colour plates, with captioned tissue guards, 10 black and white full-page illustrations, numerous initials in black and red, by Nielsen. Minor wear to head and foot of spine, spine toned and with minor spots of damp staining, minor abrasions to lettering piece, slight splitting to hinges, remnants of plain dust jacket loosely inserted, extremities of slightly soiled slipcase worn: a very good copy in like slipcase.
