The text follows the original edition with these illustrations published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1825. As Marina Warner explains in the illuminating essay written for this edition "the translator and the selection aren't identified but some of the stories appear to be taken directly from Edgar Taylor's 1823 volumes and others from an anthology published in 1853 called 'Household Stories' . anonymously translated." Kay Neilsen 1886-1957 came to prominence at the end of a period of great illustrators including Rackham and Dulac and though his work shows traces of their influence there is a sharper more disturbing edge. He later worked for Walt Disney studios where he contributed to the great 'Fantasia' 1940. "There is no more beautiful book than Kay Neilsen's 'Hansel and Gretel' pale symbols melting into paler backgrounds; planes of action successive stages of one idea bordering on expressionism." from a 1926 review in 'The Outlook' Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.

2008Best.-Nr. 77722Steidl. New. Hardcover. FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- Text in English. 72 pp. With 37 ills. 35 col. . 29 x 30 cm. -- with a bonus offer--; In Bonfires photographer John Duncan documents the long-standing Protestant tradition of bonfire building--part of the annual July 11 celebration commemorating the defeat of James Stuart at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690--in his native Belfast. The large structures on which the fires are lit serve as a powerful assertion of Protestant identity and signal a sense of community solidarity. Duncan's photographs frame these structures against Belfast's changing urban landscape revealing the deep divisions that despite political progress still affect Northern Ireland long after the cease-fires. Duncan's images reveal the expressive jerry-rigged constructions that are lit to create the fires. They recall all manner of real and mythic architecture from high-rise apartment buildings to military watchtowers gun emplacements the Empire State Building or the Tower of Babel. . 2008. 3865217265 .
