Heath Robinson two volumes complete quarto size 815 total pp. A monumental collection of Francois Rabelais' ca. 1493-1553 satirical novels of the life of two giants Gargantua and Pantagruel this two-volume set contains all five books telling of the adventures of these two characters; the text is rampant with Rabelais' wit as well as baudy and often grotesque humour. <br/><br/>Both volumes are filled with illustrations by William Heath Robinson 1872-1944 an exemplary book illustrator and cartoonist "the only British illustrator to become a 'household name'" Houfe. A contemporary of acclaimed illustrators Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac Robinson is best known for his cartoons portraying elaborate and whimsical machinary made to complete simple tasks; in fact his fame was such that the term "Heath Robinson" was used in the United Kingdom to refer to such machinary much as the term "Rube Goldberg" was used in the United States. <br/><br/>This set is the first edition with Robinson's illustrations published in 1904 and is in remarkable condition see details below.<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Full white cloth gilt illustrations and lettering on the front board and spine top edge gilt fore- and bottom edges uncut endpapers with illustrations in red each volume with a black-and-white illustrated frontispieces by W.

Even with the few condition issues an outstanding example. <br/><br/>___CITATIONS: Horne pp. 373-374; Houfe p. 282; Beare no. 35a.<br/><br/>___POSTAGE: Please note that this is a large and heavy set and therefore additional postage will apply; please inquire for details.<br/><br/>___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

RABELAIS Francois William Siegel illus
The Works of Rabelais. Faithfully Translated from the French with Variorum Notes and Numerous Illustrations by Gustave Doré. Privately Printed with Twenty Additional New Illustrations
N.p. New York: Privately Printed N.d. ca 1930s. Octavo. Cloth boards with paper spine and cover labels; 640pp; illus. Mild toning to paper labels; front hinge thinly cracked a few pages opened roughly - about VG lacking the presumed dustwrapper. The twenty additional illustrations though never explicitly attributed and hinted at only in the front cover label are by the radical cartoonist William Siegel who was a frequent contributor to New Masses and other CP-affiliated publications. There is nothing particularly racy about either the translation or the illustrations so it's unclear why the anonymous publisher took such pains to issue the work anonymously - unless it was to tempt the buyer with an intentionally deceptive appearance of smut. The edition is either scarce or more likely other cataloguers simply have neglected to attribute the illustrations to Siegel. Privately Printed unknown books
