    Description

    Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Limited Edition, Publishers' Original Binding

    Limited to two-hundred and fifty copies.

    This copy is lacking the signed original Aldin Sketch that it was issued with, and is also lacking the limitation page and title page.

    Aldin's tale chronicles the lives of Micky and Cracker, an Irish wolfhound and a bull terrier, and provides a practical guide for young dog owners, with tips on training, dealing with bad habits, feeding, and more.

    Illustrated with two full colour plates, and seventy-seven vignette and full page illustrations by Aldin. Collated, complete.

    A lovely work from the British artist and illustrator best known for his paintings and sketches of animals, sports, and rural life. A devoted dog-lover, many of his works pay tribute to canine friends.

    Condition

    In the publisher's original quarter vellum binding, with paper covered boards. Light discolouration and spotting to back strip, with handling marks and discolouration to boards. Internally, firmly bound, but with title page and limitation page removed. Pages bright, but with spotting and instances of foxing throughout, most concentrated to the first half of the work.
