Stories from The Arabian Nights (text retold by Laurence Housman)
Edmund Dulac · Hodder & Stoughton (London); simultaneously Charles Scribner's Sons (New York) · 1907
Later Hodder & Stoughton trade reprints reuse the 1907 title-page date and are hard to distinguish by date alone; watch for reduced plate counts (later, cheaper printings drop plates), thinner/whiter paper, plates printed on the page rather than separately mounted with tissue guards, and cheaper cloth or later binding settings. A genuine first shows all 50 mounted colour plates with printed tissue guards present. The vellum limited is authenticated by the signed/numbered limitation leaf (X of 350 in Dulac's hand); a vellum-look copy lacking the signed limitation leaf is not the deluxe issue. No confirmed contemporaneous book-club issue.
