The \"inkspot\" features three pages and a short biography of \u003cstrong\u003eDaniel Vierge\u003c\/strong\u003e (Pablo de Segovia, 1892--the first book ever reproduced direct from the artist's pen drawings).\n\nThe two color Rackhams here are from the nearly unknown \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Betty Barber, 1920\u003c\/em\u003e, and colored by none other than \u003cstrong\u003eHarry Rountree\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Two lovely OVAL Edmund Dulac works from the French magazine, \u003cem\u003eI'Illustration\u003c\/em\u003e, in the same style he used for Poe's \u003cem\u003eThe Bells\u003c\/em\u003e.\n\nThe artwork here is chosen for its obscurity, coming from sources never previously collected. And for its content, based on Jim's choice of interesting, well-drawn images from his vast collection, one of the finest in existence. Fantasy is just one theme, knights and fairies and beautiful women all appear here, but you also will find gorgeous drawings and paintings of everything in between. Mythology, history, anthropomorphic animals, humor, erotica. Additionally, Jim worked very hard after scanning each image to make it the best one possible, correcting reproduction flaws and other shortcomings that might have happened in the original printing. So with no alteration, no enhancement, each image is nonetheless improved and most often better reproduced than it was first.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: Very Fine.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59642093666590,"sku":"RB8426","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/product_i_m_ima04-images_151be74b-6a52-4290-8dcd-7012789e4e4b.jpg?v=1784508937","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/the-vadeboncoeur-collection-of-images-issue-four","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
