Signed limited edition, one of only 500 numbered copies signed by one of the greatest Golden-Age illustrators, Kay Nielsen.
Near fine.
Nielsen illustrates the work of fellow Dane, Andersen, in this gorgeous deluxe gift book with a style mixing "some of the decorative design of Art Nouveau with the bold shapes of Art Deco" (Menges). Includes "The Snow Queen," "The Nightingale," and more. A stunning production.
