What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated
The first edition.
Bound in the publisher's original cloth with a large pictorial label applied to the front cover.
The first children's novelty book produced by American artist and author, Peter Newell, who went on to create numerous picture books. His humorous depictions often appeared in Harper's Magazines, as well as providing illustrations for many new editions of children's books.
This particular work shows the journey of a bullet as it travels many different scenes in the book, narrowly avoiding the other characters. The wayward bullet was fired accidentally by a young boy names Tom Potts, and went on the disturb a laundry room, a child playing outside, a car, and artist, and many others.
With an ink inscription to Bryan from Mrs Jansey.
Condition
