Indeed, it was Burne-Jones and Walter Crane that influenced his work for these mythological stories and this secured his fame as an illustrator and particularly for Andrew Lang's Fairy Books (1889-1901).

Daughter of a successful draftsman and wood engraver, she studied graphic design and art between 1858-69. Her first book “Under the Window” was an instant best seller and bought her immediate fame, and was followed by numerous highly successful publications. At the same time as her writing career, she excelled as a watercolourist, working with illustrators Walter Crane and Randolph Caldecott. Her distinctive old fashioned style depicting children and young ladies dressed in early 19th century costume in quaint settings, a style of grace and charm that transformed the children’s book market, her talent described by Walter Crane as “captivating the public in a remarkable way”.

Walter Crane had been commissioned to produce the illustrations for that edition, but took so long that Morris became impatient and published it without the intended wood-engravings. Crane did finally complete his illustrations, and Morris published the present edition, which was to be the artist's only work for Kelmscott.Alfred De Sauty (1870-1949) was the subject of an essay by Marianne Tidcombe entitled 'The Mysterious Mr. De Sauty', published in For the Love of the Binding. Studies in Bookbinding History Presented to Mirjam Foot (2000), pp.329-336. She notes that 'the first non-trade bookbinder, T. J. Cobden-Sanderson, emerged in the 1880's... he was followed by hundreds of women, but only two male binders of any significance: Douglas Cockerell and Alfred De Sauty'. Inspired by seeing illustrations of the bindings of Cobden-Sanderson in an issue of The Studio, he soon found work at the Hampstead Bindery and Guild of Women Binders, and may also have trained under P. A. Savoldelli at Riviere. De Sauty was responsible for some of the best designs of the two binderies, and carried out all the stages of the craft himself, from sewing to the designing and exceptionally delicate tooling of the covers. The present example bears similarities to another in the Catalogue of the Broxbourne Library (no.110), and to others where the use of pointille is prominent.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
