# Arthur Rackham: A Bibliography/List of the Books

LIST OF THE BOOKS
1893
TO/THE OTHER SIDE./BY/THOMAS RHODES./WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY ARTHUR RACKHAM & ALFRED BRYAN./AND MAPS./LONDON:/GEORGE PHILIP & SON,/32, FLEET STREET, E. C./1893. Bound in pictorial wrappers in colour with a globe in the center, the American flag in the upper left-hand corner, and a ship in the lower left-hand corner. 106 numbered pages, 8½×10¾. There is also another edition bound in brown cloth with the same pictorial wrapper pasted on the cover. This is a travel book and is illustrated with drawings in black and white by Arthur Rackham, mostly done from photographs. This is the first book that Mr. Rackham illustrated; all his previous work had appeared in magazines and other periodicals. The wrapper edition was published in March, 1893, and sold for one shilling; the cloth edition was published at the same time, and sold for two shillings.
1894
THE/DOLLY/DIALOGUES./BY ANTHONY HOPE/REPRINTED FROM THE WESTMINSTER GAZETTE/[quotation]/LONDON:/“WESTMINSTER GAZETTE,” TUDOR STREET, E.C./1894/(ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.) Bound in light yellow or red wrappers with a picture of “Dolly” on the cover. The yellow cover has the picture of “Dolly,” and the lettering is in blue; the lettering on the spine is in blue also. The red wrapper has the picture of “Dolly,” and the lettering is in black. 111 numbered pages, 5½×7. The first issue of the wrapper edition has the short running headline throughout the book, “Dolly,” while the later issues have the ​full title, “The Dolly Dialogues.” The later issues of the wrapper edition have the notice of reprint in the upper left-hand corner of the cover. The wrapper edition was published in July, 1894. There are four full-page illustrations in black and white halftones. This story originally appeared in The Westminster Gazette and was not illustrated until published in book form.
The cloth edition is bound in blue cloth with the same design on the cover as is on the wrapper edition. The picture of “Dolly” and the lettering are in brown. 111 numbered pages, 5½×7. The illustrations are the same, except that one illustration is used as a frontispiece, whereas in the wrapper edition the four illustrations are included in the various chapters. The end-papers of the first issue are tan with a design of peacock feathers, while the later issues have plain end-papers. As the blue cloth edition has both the pictorial end-papers and one illustration used as a frontispiece, and as the illustrations are much clearer than in the other cloth editions, we feel fairly certain that this is the real first issue of the cloth edition. Both cloth editions have the same date, 1894; it is therefore difficult to identify the first issue except for the above reasons. The other cloth edition is bound in tan cloth with the same design on the cover in brown and brown lettering. The wrapper edition was published in July at one shilling, and the cloth edition in August at two shillings and six pence.
American Edition: THE/DOLLY DIALOGUES/BY/ANTHONY HOPE/AUTHOR OF “THE PRISONER OF ZENDA,” ETC. [quotation]/[publisher’s stamp]/NEW YORK/HENRY HOLT AND COMPANY/1894. Bound in tan buckram with red stamp of the publisher’s trade mark on the cover and red lettering on the cover and spine; gilt top. 195 numbered pages, 3½×6¼. This American edition has only one illustration, used as a frontispiece. There is also another American edition published in 1895 by George Sully, New York, and bound in tan cloth with red lettering. This edition has only one illustration, also used as a frontispiece.

Forty-nine drawings in black and white by Arthur Rackham. The first issue has the Great Eastern Railway advertisement at the back of the book, dated 1894. This seems to be the only way of distinguishing the first issue, as none of the editions was dated on the title page. The later issues have the later dates on the advertisement. The wrapper edition was published at six pence, and the cloth edition at one shilling. They were both published at the same time, 1894.
SUNRISE-LAND/RAMBLES IN EASTERN ENGLAND./BY/MRS. ALFRED BERLYN,/(“VERA”)/AUTHOR OF “VERA IN POPPY-LAND,” ETC. ETC./LONDON:/JARROLD & SONS. 10 & 11, WARWICK LANE, E.C./(ALL RIGHTS RESERVED)/1894.

This edition has the picture of a man sitting on a rock by the sea; the back cover has an advertisement for Mason’s Extract of Herbs, and the spine is lettered length-wise instead of cross-wise. Both editions have the same number of illustrations, the same title page, and the same date, 1894.

Six full-page illustrations in half-tone by Arthur Rackham. There is another binding of this book in coral-pink cloth, with the same date on the title page and the pictorial stamping; but as the first American edition was bound in blue cloth and bound from the English sheets, we feel that the blue binding was the first issue. The first issue of the blue binding has light yellow end-papers that match the yellow of the cover design, while the pink and the later blue bindings have gray end-papers. The cover design is taken from one of the illustrations in the book.
American Edition: Has the same blue binding and is the same in every way, except that it has gray end-papers and a gilt top. Published by E. P. Dutton, New York, 1901.

Cassell tells us that the subscribers’ edition was published in 1901, but possibly one volume at a time, the same as with the wrapper edition. A few of these illustrations first appeared in Cassell’s Magazine in 1896.

TWO YEARS BEFORE/THE MAST/BY/RICHARD HENRY DANA/ILLUSTRATED BY/ARTHUR RACKHAM/LONDON AND GLASGOW/COLLINS’ CLEAR-TYPE PRESS. [1904]. There are several bindings of this book. The most sought-after by collectors and the one that in every way seems to be the first edition is the one bound in either red or green cloth with pictorial stamping of a ship, the “Scud,” on the cover in dark blue, black and white. The ship has two men standing in the bow waiting for a canoe with two Indians in it. The lettering on the cover is in dark blue with white shadows. The spine has a picture of an Indian in blue and white, and the title is in a mat of gold. The author’s name in fall is below in dark blue lettering. Later editions have only “R. H. Dana.” The first edition has the title page in black lettering and has “Illustrated by Arthur Rackham,” and no mention of the number of illustrations; but there are eight full-page plates in colour. The illustrations in this edition have the number of the page that they illustrate in the lower right-hand corner, and these illustrations are much clearer and the colours better than in any of the other editions. This same binding appeared later with only six illustrations. The first edition has 304 numbered pages, 4¾×7¼. According to the publishers’ catalog, this edition was published in September, 1904.
There is another edition in light blue cloth, with pictorial stamping on the cover taken from an illustration in the book. ​This picture is in blue, black and white. The tide is in white, and “Richard Henry Dana” is in black at the bottom of the cover. The spine has the title in a gold mat, but the style of lettering and spacing are different from the first edition; and the book is a much cheaper edition. The author’s name on the spine is in black and reads “Dana.” Also on the spine there is a picture of a boy dancing in a panel. This is from an illustration in the book. The title page is in red and black lettering and has “Eight Coloured Illustrations,” but Rackham’s name is not given. At the bottom of the page is “Collins’/Clear-Type Press,/London and Glasgow.” The eight full-page illustrations in colour are badly printed and no page numbers are given on them. There are 304 numbered pages, 4¾×7⅛. Several other editions were bound in various coloured cloths, with an illustration from the book pasted on the cover. These editions also have eight full-page illustrations in colour, and the title page in red and black. All the English editions were published by Collins.
American Edition: Bound in either tan or light blue cloth with an illustration from the book pasted on the cover, with decorations around the picture in red and black, lettering on the cover and spine in black and zed, and black pictorial stamping on the back. The author’s name does not appear on the outside of the book. There are 304 numbered pages, 4¾×7¼. The title page is the same as the first English edition, all in black lettering and has “Printed in Great Britain” on the reverse title page. There are eight full-page illustrations in colour that are as clear as the first English edition; the pages were probably printed at the same time and sent to America to be bound. This is undoubtedly the first American edition. Published by The John C. Winston Co.
