Decorated Cloth
1903 · Chicago
Chicago: Thompson & Thomas, 1903. Decorated Cloth. Very Good. Oblong 9.5 by 7.5 Inches. Unpaginated, between 200 and 300 pages, with about 20 published colored, with notion that the user of the book would emulate these pages. Only about three of the pages have been colored by a child, and they were done neatly, making for a remarkably clean copy of a children's coloring book of the early twentieth century. Many of the drawings have a Greenaway style. This is a very good copy. Cover has soilage and some wear by the spine tips, and one prelim page has starting separation, but otherwise tight, and interior clean. (Inventory #: 000716)
