Illustrated by Arthur Rackham Scribner’s Illustrated Classics Edition (1930) With the Scarce $2.50 Dust Jacket

 

A very good example of J.M. Barrie’s beloved Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, presented here in the 1930 Scribner’s Illustrated Classics edition—increasingly difficult to find in collectible condition with the original $2.50 dust jacket. This edition features 16 full‑page color plates by Arthur Rackham, including the iconic Kensington Gardens frontispiece.

Condition

 

Book: Very good overall. Light edgewear with a few small spots to the cloth; bumping to the upper corners; softening to spine tips; foxing to outer page edges. Interior clean and sound.

 

Dust Jacket: A very good example of the scarce Scribner’s Illustrated Classics jacket unclipped with the $2.50 price intact. Features the matching Rackham illustrated onlay. Some chipping at the folds and spine ends, a crease along the spine, and toning/foxing around the front‑panel edges. Presents well in fresh archival protection.

 

Notes -A handsome copy of this popular Rackham‑illustrated classic—increasingly uncommon in collectible condition with the original dust jacket. A strong addition to any Rackham, Barrie, or Golden Age illustration collection.
