468 The CAMBRIDGE A.B.C. Numbers 1 to 4 (all published), June 8th, 9th, 11th and 12th, 1894. Cover design by Aubrey Beardsley. In one volume, sm. 4to., green crushed levant, inside dentelles (by Riviere). FINE COPY. £45

The contributors and co-editors of "The Cambridge A.B.C." were Maurice Baring, R. Austen Leigh and Hubert Cornish. The particular copy catalogued is of unique interest, being that which actually belonged to the Hon. Maurice Baring. It has the initials of the various contributors to the journal pencilled by him after their respective writings. It has also his bookplate (designed by Hilaire Belloc).

Inserted are two original letters from Aubrey Beardsley to Maurice Baring. In the first Beardsley accepts the commission to draw the coverdesign for the " Cambridge A.B.C." for ten guineas. In the second Beardsley states a preference for the reproduction of his design to be in blackand-white, and not in red, which was apparently proposed and which he states would spoil the picture.
