    Description

    Colour Plates, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

    First issue - actually it seems late 1911 as per inscription - and with 16 plates not ten. 

    A lovely copy of this charming early twentieth century children's tale, with verse from Richard Waylett, and illustrated throughout by artist and illustrator Cecil Aldin.

    Aldin was best known for his delightful paintings and sketches of animals, sports, and rural life, humorously represented with this work's canine illustrations.

    Illustrated with sixteen colour plates. Collated, complete.

    The first edition; dates 1912 via Jisc and WorldCat. However, a former owner's inscription to the front free endpaper reads 'Mary Duncan 1911'.

    Condition

    In the publisher's original cloth backed pictorial paper covered boards. Bumping to back strip head and tail, and board perimeters. Front hinge starting, with board holding firm. Rear hinge starting prior to final plate, with board holding firm. Inscription to front free endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages generally clean and bright, with the area of spotting. Rust marks surrounding staples to final two leaves.
