1894ref. 188654London: Macmillan and Co. 1894. Original Jean Jullien dust jacket First edition in book form the "First Editions: Re-covered" copy. This copy includes a unique dust jacket by Jean Jullien. The acrylic gouache painting on two sides of acetate shows Mowgli Baloo and Bagheera peering through an opening in the forest. The acetate allows their view to be the original pictorial design of elephants on the front cover of the binding. A charity auction to benefit the House of Illustration was held on 11 December 2017. Book illustrators fashion artists painters and artists were asked to choose a book which appealed to them. A first edition was then obtained and the artist provided a unique dust jacket. With reference to his choice of book Jullien stated that "I grew up watching and loving the Disney version and am always interested in revisiting popular culture landmarks. I find that their endurance to time and iteration is a tribute to their efficiency and quality". The charity's concept for artists to engage with a first edition is particularly effective here as the original binding plays a new illustrative role with Jullien's dust jacket. Jean Jullien b. 1983 is an acclaimed French graphic designer and illustrator whose work has been published by Phaidon Press. His "Peace for Paris" symbol went viral through news coverage and social media in the wake of 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris.
