"Although Surtees approached his publishers in July 1861 with the idea of bringing out 'Mr. Facey Romford' they preferred not to undertake the matter until Mr. Leech's services were definitely secured and there would be no questoin of such delays as had occurred in the illustrations of 'Handley Cross.' Leech promised however to being in January 1862 and the situation seemed sufficiently secure to set up the type but just at this time the artist held his first exhibition of oil paintings which proved so successful and diverting that the 'Facey Romford' illustrations were again postponed. Surtees in despair at last offered the book in August 1864 to The Field where is was refused. In March of that year Leech finally undertook the drawings but never lived to complete the work which was carried on byPhiz" Field. Field 225. Tooley 475. Schwerdt II 237. Podeschi 207.

Four figure ink number upside down on verso of rear blank leaf. An exceptional copy. A relatively common book but scarce in fine condition.

"This was the first of a group of wartime books sponsored by prominent people and sold to raise money for worthy causes. The most popular it sold 604884 copies during the two years 1914-1916 that is was in print. The Times in an article November 21 1914 sought to promote the cause "The Queen's Fund" by directing the public to the display of the original drawings at the Leicester Galleries" Hughey. The fourteen tipped-in color plates include: "So nobody can quite explain Exactly where the rainbows end" Arthur Rackham "True Spartan Hearts" Edmund Dulac "The Ant Lion" E.J. Detmold "A Holiday in Bed" W. Russell Flint There are also many black & white drawings by C.E. Brock; E.J. Detmold; Arthur Rackham; Byam Shaw; H. M. Brock; Lewis Baumer and Edmund J. Sullivan. Arthur Rackham 1867-1939 is perhaps the most acclaimed and influential illustrators of the Golden Age of Illustration. A prolific artist even from his youth Rackham got his start as an illustrator working for the Westminster Budget Newspaper 1892. Over the next few years he took on more and more commissions for children's books hitting his career high in the first three decades of the twentieth century.

1904ref. 3810London: John F. Shaw 1904. First edition. Publisher's quarter decorated cloth over full-color glazed pictorial boards corners a little worn.Small quarto 9 5/8 x 7 1/8 in; 245 x 180 mm. A few illustrations hand-colored by a child. Closed tear to bottom edge of page. 17. Early ink presentation dated "Christmas 1905" on front paste-down. Illustrated throughout in black and white and color with fifteen drawings by Louis Wain and an unrecorded text drawing by Arthur Rackham so initialed on page 40. Unrecorded and scarce with no copies noted in the Wain or Rackham bibliographies. Anytime an unrecorded book illustration by Arthur Rackham comes to light it's an item for collectors to note. Buried within this book unheralded on page forty is a black and white text illustration of four chickens in various states of distress as they observe in high dudgeon and with no little annoyance a cat within their food bucket chowing down the chicken feed. And at the lower left of the bucket as small as can be are Rackham's initials as typically drawn. Latimore and Haskell and Riall make no mention of this illustration in their Rackham bibliographies and the Arthur Rackham Society expressed no knowledge of it when we inquired. A true scarcity -- a previously unknown Rackham during his transitional period when his fairies and goblins were emerging but had not yet fully vanquished the simple pay-the-bills work of his early years. Arthur Rackham 1867-1939 is perhaps the most acclaimed and influential illustrator of the Golden Age of Illustration. A prolific artist even from his youth Rackham got his start as an illustrator working for the Westminster Budget Newspaper 1892. Over the next few years he took on more and more commissions for children's books hitting his career high in the first three decades of the twentieth century. Rackham turned his imaginative pen to every classic-from Shakespeare to Dickens to Poe. Cf. Dale 34 and 35. John F. Shaw unknown books
