Arthur Rackham Illustrated Gulliver’s Travels (Late 1920s Edition)

A charming vintage edition of Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, illustrated by the celebrated Golden Age artist Arthur Rackham. Rackham’s distinctive illustrations have made his editions highly sought after by collectors for over a century, and this copy retains both of his full-page illustrations along with all four original maps.

Bound in the original publisher’s red cloth with gilt spine lettering, this book carries the honest character of a well-read survivor. The preliminary pages, including the title page, are incomplete, although the original fragments have been retained with the book. The binding shows age-related wear and the front endpaper has been damaged, but the text is complete from the contents page onwards.

Far from diminishing its charm, the wear tells the story of a book that has been treasured and enjoyed through generations. A wonderful addition to the library of anyone who appreciates Arthur Rackham’s timeless illustrations or classic adventure literature.
