About This Item
London and New Yorki: Castell Brothers, Ltd. and Frederick A. Stokes Company, respectively, 1909. Wraps (Moderately stiff card, twine or ...cord). Very Good. Delightful romp through the year with the mischievous wooden doll. Illustrations are deliciously bright and fun. 12mo. 14.5 by 12 cm. Unpaginated, 14 leaves. 13 chromolithographic plates, including one double paged. There is one single paged plate for each month. Made to look like a manuscript, as the general style of the Ainslie series. Thus printed captions could be mistaken easily, in a quick glance, for handwritten pencil, and the text throughout is rendered in a cursive. The numbered dates definitely can trick the eye into perceiving them as hand written as well. Uncommon -- three institutional copies of this year's Catherine Susan calendar evidenced on OCLC First Search -- Bryn Mawr, Princeton, Toronto. Cover with somewhat heavy staining. Small lower corner chip, and tiny amount of surface loss by upper spine. Leaves within suffer some of the same stains but these are significantly lighter than on cover and in our view, not disconcerting. Leaves do have some modest rippling. Short gift inscription, written in pencil, back of front cover. Still, we would regard this as a Very Good copy, perhaps VG minus, but definitely better than a Good copy.
