Book Description
[St. Paul, MN: Great Northern Railway, 11 May 1935].. Quarto. Cloth backed printed boards. Color portraits by Winold Reiss. Top edge lightly dust marked, otherwise near fine in very good, slightly tanned dust jacket with small chip and a shallow snag at the top edge of the front panel. First edition of this popular example of art-deco typography and binding decoration, published on the 25th Anniversary of Glacier National Park. The extreme realism of Reiss's brilliantly colored portraits are a sympathetic counterpoint to the design. This copy is accompanied by an original undated pencil drawing, 19.8 x 23.5, signed "Fritz Winold Reiss" in a hand much out of character with Reiss's mature signature, of a knight in armor on horseback. With a biographical sketch of Linderman by Grace Stone Coates, and of Reiss by Helen Appleton Reid.
