Description:
New York: Random House, Inc, 1952. Very good.. First printing of this colorful Babar story, following his family's visit to the Kingdom of the Birds. The Babar series has delighted generations of young children around the world. The de Brunhoffs' simple and stylish art is widely praised for being "comprehensible and entertaining even if one didn't know the language" (Bader, 547). The Babar books set the tempo for all picture books that followed: their "large format, fine litho-printing and hand-written text" fueled the "visual triumph" (Whalley and Chester, 189) of the picture book in the 1930s. BABAR'S VISIT TO BIRD ISLAND is Laurent de Brunhoff's third outing in the Babar series, and is a particularly vibrant example of his continuation of his father's legacy. 14.25'' x 10''. Original red cloth-backed color pictorial boards. Color pictorial endpapers of elephants against a red background. Illustrated in color. 40 pages. Small pencil gift inscription to front pastedown, dated "xmas 1952". Binding…
