hardcover. Condición: Very Good. 1951 Limited Editions Club, 7 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches tall white vellum hardcover in publisher's slipcase, gilt design and lettering to front cover and spine, brilliantly illustrated in color by Edmind Dulac, signed by Dulac on the limitations page, copy 508 of 1500, index, 64 pp. A near fine copy - clean, bright and unmarked with very slight rubbing to covers - in a slightly soiled, bumped and edgeworn slipcase. ~SP30~ [3.0P] This exquisite volume presents Walter Pater's celebrated translation of the classical myth of Cupid and Psyche, originally extracted from Marius the Epicurean. Celebrated for its lush aestheticist style, Pater's rendition captures the philosophical nuance and allegorical depth of Apuleius's ancient Latin original. This particular edition serves as a magnificent monument to the Golden Age of Illustration, containing some of the final color plates executed by the legendary artist Edmund Dulac. The collaboration between Pater's prose and Dulac's ethereal, dreamlike imagery offers a sublime visual and textual experience for scholars of late-Victorian literature and book arts alike. This limited, signed production is highly prized by collectors of fine press editions and represents a high-water mark for mid-century American book design under the direction of George Macy.
