Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A rare Romani of Wales bulk of the folk tales arranged and published by Dr. John Sampson in the middle of a rising race war in Old Europe. John Sampson (18621931) was an Irish linguist, literary scholar and librarian who met with a Welsh Romani musician Edward Wood during his countrysi…de trip. The surprising meeting inspired the lexicographer for a long-term project that included significant academic publications. The present book was a limited edition private press project which included the powerful illustrations of a female artist Agnes Miller Parker (18951980). Graduated from the Glasgow School of Arts she became one of the greatest engravers of the 20th century with a monumental understanding of the volume. Her style inspired by the Art Deco plastic language has parallels with the painting of Tamara de Lempicka (1898-1980). Text in English. In 4to. XI+108+[1]pp. 27,8x19 cm. Numerous monochrome woodcuts. Mustard sheepskin binding with golden lettering and three raised bands. Minimal soilings and chippings on the cover. Near fine condition. Comes with a custom made velvet slipcase and a recent Japanese translation. Extra shipping charges may be applied due to weight and size of the item.
