Description:
M. A. Donohue & Co, Chicago, IL, 1922. Hardcover. Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. This is an art book for children. There are numerous illustrations ready to be colored. Many are here twice, one having been colored by the publishers as an example, and the other to be colored by the owner. Others are here only once, with a blank page next to them for the owner to reproduce the illustration and then color it. A couple of the drawings appear to have been colored already, but they were done SO well that I'm not completely sure of that. The book is housed in a box, which has sides and corners that are very worn, but both top and bottom are intact. Virtually impossible to find in the original box. Size: 12mo - over 6 3/4" - 7 3/4" tall. Heavy foxing front/rear pages, but body of book mostly clean and unfoxed. Minor soiling to the cover. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1 - 2 pounds.
