A Treasury of Verse for Little Children (1908)

Illustrated by Willy Pogány

On the left, we show a rare copy of A Treasury of Verse for Little Children - illustrated by Willy Pogány - produced by George G Harrap & Co. (London) in 1908.   This example retains the original colour-stamped green cloth binding.               On the right, we show Pogány's decorated Title Page for A Treasury of Verse for Little Children.

Pogány's contribution to A Treasury of Verse for Little Children was published in the same year as his adult-oriented illustrated

work for Goethe's Faust. Naturally, the images for A Treasury of Verse for Little Children are very different from those in

Faust, being focused on the goings-on in the fairy realm, but they retain the attention to detail and thoughtful application

of colour that are characteristic of his work. Critically, the quality of the printing (undertaken by Ballantyne & Co. Limited

[London] for George G Harrap & Co. [London]) is outstanding.

1st Edition copies of A Treasury of Verse for Little Children are rare and the illustrations by Pogány - both monotone and

colour - are wonderful.
