About This Item
Grosset & Dunlap, 1937, 1937. Hardcover. Good/No Dj. Quarto, hardcover, in beige pictorial boards. Cover taped and lightly scuffed, three interior pages have short taped tears, not affecting drawings, else good. Wonderful drawings of 22 dogs of all sorts. 1936 collectible classic; A preeminent British illustrator working in the 1930s and 1940s, Lucy Mac Dawson was famous for her pen, ink, oil, and pastel paintings and etchings of dogs which graced books, postcards, and even the Royal Family's Christmas card, which sported her portrait of their favorite Corgi, Dookie. Printed on an uncoated stock that simulates sketchbook paper, this reproduction of Dogs as I See Them is filled with Dawson's beautiful, endearing drawings of different breeds, accompanied by her handwritten notes and short, whimsical anecdotes that provide amusing insight into the personalities of her canine models and the experience of drawing each. This is not the new 2015 reprint, but the original from the 1930's.
