FULLER, Loie. Fifteen Years of a Dancer's Life
FULLER, Loie. Fifteen Years of A Dancer’s Life, with some account of her distinguished friends. With an introduction by Anatole France. London: Herbert Jenkins. 1913. 8vo. First British edition, published simultaneously as the first American edition. Publisher’s black cloth with exquisite design at the front board of a typical dance silhouette she became synonymous with. Though no footage remains of Fuller dancing, she is widely credited as the first proponent of modern dance and her theories on stage design, light and shape continues to bring admiration and adoration as the pinnacle of the Art Nouveau movement. An excellent, scarce volume, the gilt to the spine panel bright, the corners a trifle rubbed and bumped, the binding tight with a gentle lean, but the binding sound with no cracks. With fifteen spectacular photographic plates and the frontispiece of Fuller. The contents usually clean and bright, some light scattered foxing to endpapers, rear endpaper with remnants of a former bookplate, not ex-library. Front endpaper with the signature of Mario [?], with the bookplate of Edwin A. Dawes to front pastedown, who was a biochemist at the University of Hull, founding member of the Philip Larkin Society, and the leading scholar on the history of magic. Otherwise clean throughout. A scarce volume, scarcer than the US first.
