Condition: Very good plus. First Christy-illustrated edition of this beloved poem of the Highlands, populated by beautiful "Christy Girls" very scarce signed. Howard Chandler Christy's art of elegant, attractive women led to him being hailed as the successor to Charles Dana Gibson, and the "Gibson Girl" of the 1890s and 1900s was soon replaced by the "Christy Girl" of the 1910s. Christy would go on to illustrate a number of famous WWI recruitment posters, including the iconic 1917 "Gee I wish I were a Man, I'd Join the Navy." THE LADY OF THE LAKE was published just as the popularity of the Christy Girl was approaching its zenith, and showcases the artist's talent for depicting beautiful women (and men). Copies signed by him are very scarce. 11.5'' x 8.75''. Publisher's green cloth pictorial boards with gilt, yellow, and green stamping. Illustrated in black, white, and blue with color frontispiece and title page, with 12 color plates. [112] pages. Signed by Christy to title page, dated 1910. Binding with mild rubbing, a couple careful infills. Leaves with occasional faint soiling, a bit of rubbing to one color plate. Bright.

First Edition. Quarto. Half-title, portrait frontispiece of Scott by Heath after a painting by Saxon. 290 pages, cxxix (with errata printed on last page). The popularity of his earlier works printed in octavo led him to begin some editions in quarto (in this case with wide margins). Of this large paper edition only 2050 copies were printed, and it went through eight editions in 2010. Scott who is regarded as father of the Scottish Baronial style wrote in this majestic poem of Loch Latrine in the Southern Highlands (which also drew flocks of tourist to this beautiful area). These stories in verse of feudal times captured the emotions of Rossini while his descriptions of the Scottish Highlands caused Victoria and Albert to build one of their great houses there. James Joyce in 1924 felt his memory was in decline so he took this as one of his favorite poems and memorized 500 lines as an exercise in works he considered excellent. A lovely copy bound in full calf with triple gilt ruled borders and a floral boarder in blind., rebacked to style retaining the original morocco spine label gilt, all edges marbled, endpapers renewed. No names or bookplates. A clean, bright, wide margined copy without names or bookplates.
