Shelley Percy Bysshe; Robinson Charles Illustrator; Gosse Edmund Introduction
The Sensitive Plant
Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Co 1911. First Trade Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/very good. Robinson Charles. First U.S. trade edition as illustrated by Robinson quarto size 128 pp. in original dust jacket. Percy Bysshe Shelley's 1792-1822 "The Sensitive Plant" is a delicate fairy fable about ephemeral beauty and the aspiration to follow dreams when the reality of the senses fails. It was first published in 1820 in "Prometheus Unbound" along with some of Shelley's best known work; here it is re-imagined with the hazy watercolour illustrations of prolific children's book illustrator Charles Robinson 1870-1937. Though paired with Shelley long after his death they are well matched "his black and white illustration reflects the influence of Beardsley and Walter Crane and his watercolour illustrations have delicacy and sensitivity greatly helped by the four colour process early in the century as the alternative to lithography. By incorporating lettering into the page design and in his planning of the book as a whole he developed the Arts and Crafts tradition of the book as a work of art" Peppin Brigid & Micklethwait Lucy "Book Illustrators of the Twentieth Century" p. 265. This edition of "The Sensitive Plant" certainly exemplifies that ideal of the artist's hand in all aspects of a book's design with a beautifully composed typeface decorative borders pale pink page numbers and stunning full-color mounted plates. With an introduction by Edmund William Gosse 1849-1928 a poet and author who was influential in the literary world of his day encouraging the careers of Yeats and James Joyce he served as the librarian of the House of Lords and a lecturer at Trinity College eventually serving as the literary editor for the 1911 edition of the "Encyclopaedia Britannica". ___DESCRIPTION: Original full green cloth with gilt pictorial upper board and backstrip top edge gilt illustrated endpapers illustrated half-title pictorial title-page first page of the introduction framed in a pictorial border with a large decorative initial eighteen mounted color plates with tissue guards including frontis numerous color and black and white vignettes in text headpieces tailpieces and initials; quarto size 10.5" by 8" pagination: i-vi vii-xii xiii-xvi 17-127 128 the first trade edition as illustrated by Robinson vintage bookseller's ticket on rear paste-down endpaper Brentano's New York.
