在1914年第一次世界大战爆发之际出版的《King Albert's Book》是为 Daily Telegraph 比利时基金筹款以援助难民而创作的。由 Hall Caine 协调，这部历史编年集是一部非凡的致敬之作，汇集了当时最杰出的政治家、作家、作曲家和艺术家们的士气提升之作。

这一第一版因其由黄金时代插图大师所绘制的华美镶嵌彩板而备受追捧，其中包括 Arthur Rackham、Edmund Dulac、Kay Nielsen 和 Maxfield Parrish 等大师。这些惊艳的视觉作品伴随了温斯顿·S·丘吉尔、德彪西、伊迪丝·华顿与鲁德亚德·吉卜林等传奇人物的原著文学和音乐贡献，其中他的诗作《The Outlaws》在此首次亮相。

尺寸约为 28 cm x 22.5 cm，这本华丽的四开本在品相上非常好。镶嵌精致的彩板与仿制签名的存在，使其成为收藏一战历史和插图古籍收藏家的极佳藏品。

Published at the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, King Albert's Book was produced to benefit the Daily Telegraph Belgian Fund to aid refugees. Coordinated by Hall Caine, this historical anthology serves as a remarkable tribute, gathering morale-boosting contributions from the most prominent statesmen, authors, composers, and artists of the era.
This First Edition is highly sought after for its magnificent tipped-in color plates by masters of the Golden Age of Illustration, including Arthur Rackham, Edmund Dulac, Kay Nielsen, and Maxfield Parrish. These stunning visual pieces accompany original literary and musical contributions from legendary figures such as Winston S. Churchill, Claude Debussy, Edith Wharton, and Rudyard Kipling, whose poem "The Outlaws" makes its first appearance here.
Measuring approximately 28 cm by 22.5 cm, this handsome quarto volume is in very good vintage condition. The presence of the delicate tipped-in plates and facsimile signatures makes this an excellent acquisition for collectors of WWI history and illustrated antiquarian books.
