Description
Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first trade edition, first impression of this work.
In the publisher's original unclipped dust wrapper.
Illustrated with a frontispiece and nineteen further colour plates.
A charming work by Cecil Aldin, in which he discusses the various canine models he has used throughout his career, appealing to lovers of Cecil Aldin and lovers of dogs alike.
Aldin says that his workshop "is more like a dog-kennel than a portrait-painter's studio". #
His charming illustrations of animals, sports, and rural scenes contributed to many different publications ensured that Aldin was one of the most popular book illustrators of his time.
