McSpadden, J. Walker (1874-1960). Stories From Wagner. 

16 plates.

“Richard Wagner’s career extended over the better part of the last century. His whole life was a struggle, for his musical ideas were unlike any that had gone before. But he lived to witness splendid triumph; and to-day his operas are produced more often than those of any other composer”. 

Interior: Foxing throughout, mainly to top corner of pages and to the fore-edges of the text block and in other places in the text, slight waviness to some of the plates.

Exterior: Full red, contemporary (or slightly later), calf, with ornate borders in gilt to upper board,  and lower board with border tooled in blind (rubbing and wear).

8vo. London: George G. Harrap & Co., 1910. 

Chapters include: Parsifal The Pure, The Master Singers, The Flying Dutchman, Tristan and Isolde.

PROVENANCE: T.A. Meddycott (?) [School Prize inscription dated 1920].

A neat, lovely binding.
