Randolph Caldecott “The Three Jovial Huntsmen” Vintage pictorial cloth-wrapped hardcover Undated early edition
$24.00
“The Three Jovial Huntsmen”, a Randolph Caldecott picture book, published by Frederick Warne & Co. Ltd., date unknown.
Vintage children’s pictorial cloth-wrapped hardcover printed in Great Britain.
A “very good” book with a solid binding and intact gutters. No loose page, no folded pages, no significantly torn pages (page 26 has a 3/4″ closed tear near the spine at bottom). The first few pages and last few pages are quite foxed (spotted – see accompanying images) but the remainder not so much. Text block edges are tanned as are the spine and boards.
The book shows some age, but it is still quite pleasant and gift worthy!
See accompanying images for full condition details.
Will ship carefully packaged and fully insured.

She arrived in the United States in 1910. During the 1910’s, she was doing drawings, pastels and paintings, primarily of dogs. In April of 1921, she did her first etching, titled “Brushwood Boy”. The etching was done using a victrola needle. “Chase”, her second etching, was done in the same month. Eventually using diamond-pointed pencils, she went on to create over 250 etchings of dogs representing 26 breeds. Including private commissions, she did over 100 etchings of Scottish Terriers. Pointers, Setters and other field dogs and terriers are included in her portfolio. Will ship promptly, carefully packaged, States only, signature requested, insured.

Illustrated Children’s Western “Wyatt Earp” [c.1956] Like new!
$22.00
"Wyatt Earp" by Philip Ketchum, published circa 1956 by Whitman Publishing Company.
Octavo, glossy coated pictorial wrap around boards, green tinted text block edges around, two color chapter headings along with two color full page illustrations, seemingly one per chapter by Robert Doremus, 282 pages. This is an exceptional copy for one of these Whitman Books published at this time. I would grade it at "very good +" or better, which typically would not be that unusual, but for these books it is very much so. They were made very cheaply and were rather delicate. They did not fair well if exposed to the sun as the glossy coating would get brittle, discolor and lift. Typically also, the spines would crack and split. This book is wholly intact, the coating is complete, the spine nor hinges are not cracked, the text block closes tight and square, the tinted edges are relatively uniform in color, showing no signs of rubbing from use. There are four small surface scuffs to the edges on the bottom (see accompanying images). A hint of wear at the board corner tips and some slight chipping at the spine head and heel edges at the corners. A really, really nice example of a classic children's western published during the pinnacle of the Western in America! A wonderful time capsule. Will ship to you carefully packaged.
