Stories from The Arabian Nights (text retold by Laurence Housman)
Edmund Dulac · Hodder & Stoughton (London); simultaneously Charles Scribner's Sons (New York) · 1907
True first is the 1907 issue. The London (Hodder & Stoughton) and New York (Charles Scribner's Sons) issues were published simultaneously in 1907, described in the trade as identical apart from the publisher's imprint, so — contrary to a "London-primary" assumption — this title behaves like the Rackham simultaneous UK/US pairs rather than a British-only first; neither imprint has clear textual precedence. Within either imprint, the signed/numbered full-vellum limited of 350 copies (Hughey 16) is the prized collecting form, with the trade cloth issue (Hughey 16a) the ordinary first. Standard references: White, Edmund Dulac (p. 200, no. 3); Hughey 16 / 16a.
