1909 printing of 1905 first American edition, printed simultaneously with the London edition. All 51 tipped in color plates present. Some discoloration of boards with a few smudges on spine and edges, but interior is exceptionally clean.

viii, 61, [1] pp. Tipped in color plates by Arthur Rackham. One autumn day, Rip Van Winkle wandered into the hills, and his life was never the same again. After encountering a group of mysterious men, he took a nap so long that upon waking, he found his gun rusty and his beard grown a foot long! Washington Irving's classic tale of the man who slept for twenty years, first published in 1819, was masterfully interpreted in 1905 by Arthur Rackham. The art for this book established Rackham as the leading illustrator of his time.
