Description
Colour Plates, Illustrated, With Dustwrapper
An illustrated work in the publisher's original cloth binding, the first edition to be illustrated with colour plates by Cecil Aldin, with one of the colour plates inset to the front board. Enclosed in the very scarce dust wrapper.
Previous owner's bookplate to the front paste down, dated 1930.
Illustrated with six lovely colour plates, each with captioned tissue guard, by Cecil Aldin (1870-1935). Aldin was a British artist and illustrator best known for his paintings and sketches of animals, sports, and rural life.
A delightful illustrated children's work telling the humorous tale of a six month old bulldog, from Nobel Prize for Literature winning Belgian playwright Maurice Maeterlinck (1862-1949).
This work was translated into English by A. Teixeira de Mattos.
Condition

Significant losses to the front of the wrap and to the head and tail to the spine of the wrap. A couple of closed tears to the folds and to the front of the wrap. Small tape repair to the verso of the wrap.
