This volume of the Golden Age of Illustration Series contains Hans
Christian Andersen's 'The Little Match Girl', first published in
May of 1824. This classic fairy tale has been continuously in print
in different editions since its first publication, with many, many,
different artists illustrating the story over the years. This
edition features a beautiful collection of the best of that art,
taken from the likes of Arthur Rackham, Mabel Lucie Attwell, Harry
Clarke, Honor Appleton, Maxwell Armfield, among others. This series
of books celebrates the Golden Age of Illustration. During this
period, the popularity, abundance and - most importantly - the
unprecedented upsurge in the quality of illustrated works marked an
astounding change in the way that publishers, artists and the
general public came to view this hitherto insufficiently esteemed
art form. The Golden Age of Illustration Series, has sourced the
rare original editions of these books and reproduced the beautiful
art work in order to build a unique collection of illustrated fairy
tales.
