One of the most ambitious editions undertaken by Rackham. The series of 12 illustrations are considered to be Rackham's favorites from the 50 that appeared in the 1906 edition of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (where they were printed much smaller). Lacking the final plate of the series. These are the largest Rackham plates ever produced for a book publication. Latimore and Haskell, pp. 39-40.
