About This Item
This is a "good plus" or better vintage hardcover in yellow cloth wrapped boards.
No torn, folded, loose or significantly creased pages unless specified below. NOT ex-library. Will not contain underlining or highlighting unless called out below in item specifics.
First edition, published in 1933.
ITEM SPECIFICS: Binding is tight, not cracked. Cloth wrapped boards show fair amount of tanning, aging. Definite moisture exposure apparent along bottom front board and along first 3 dozen or so pages, with some light rippling to block pages. Spine head and tail edges are frayed as is lower front board corner. Aside from gift inscription neatly penned by Ms. Lathrop, and Ms. Cole's initials on FEP, no other writing. Book does show wear, but is unique in its provenance and is still quite quaint and pleasing.
A very exciting item for the collector of illustrated children's books!
See accompanying images for full condition details.
About Ms. Cole:
Marguerite Kirmse, a famous artist specializing in dogs, was born December 14, 1885 in Bournemouth, England. She arrived in the United States in 1910. During the 1910's, she was doing drawings, pastels and paintings, primarily of dogs. In April of 1921, she did her first etching, titled "Brushwood Boy". The etching was done using a victrola needle. "Chase", her second etching, was done in the same month. Eventually using diamond-pointed pencils, she went on to create over 250 etchings of dogs representing 26 breeds. Including private commissions, she did over 100 etchings of Scottish Terriers. Pointers, Setters and other field dogs and terriers are included in her portfolio.
