THE HIAWATHA PAINTING BOOK

New York: The Nourse Company, 1913. First edition Bound in original stiff tan paper with pictorial cover design in dark brown and terra cotta. The corner of the front cover is chipped and the corners of the first few pages creased. A couple of closed tears along the edges. Aside from these relatively minor faults, this is an exceptional copy of a Prang water color book, internally fine and unmarked. The back cover gives suggestions on the use of water color paints. A fragile item in a remarkable state of preservation.
