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. This copy includes a bookplate for Edward Lowrey together with an ownership signature on the preliminary blank "Lowrey Broomhaugh". Lowrey b. 1830 is listed in the 1881 census as a steam ship owner and manager living at Broomhaugh House in Northumberland. Octavo.

ref. 74728London: Macmillan and Co. 1908. Children's classic FIRST DETMOLD COLOUR ILLUSTRATED EDITION first impression. Octavo 22 x 14.5 cm; pp.xii 314 2 advertisements. With 16 full-page colour plates. Publisher's red cloth pictorially blocked in gilt top edge gilt. Contents clean a little toning to edges and endpapers binding carefully handled small pull at crown. Charles Maurice Detmold and Edward Julius Detmold were English graphic artists twins born on 21 November 1883. Due to the illness of their father they grew up in the care of their uncle Dr E B Shuldham who had acquired a notable collection of Japanese woodprints of plants and animals. This encouraged the twins to commence drawing animals and plants at a very early age and resulted in a debut aged 13 at the Royal Academy and the Royal Institute of Watercolour Painters with nature studies in the Japanese style. The Detmolds subsequently learned techniques of watercolour etching and of colour printing with copper plates. London: Macmillan and Co., 1908 unknown
