London: David Krut Publishing, 1998. First Edition, First Printing. Fine Hardcover in a Fine Dust Jacket. Fine/New. Illustration of the work of Grinling Gibbons.

No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal aging on the preliminary pages; Still Gift Quality. First Edition, First Printing.. Grinling Gibbons (1648-1721), the greatest of decorative woodcarvers, is seen here through the eyes of a fellow carver, American artist David Esterly. Gibbons's flamboyant cascades of lifelike blossoms, fruits, foliage, birds, and fish dominated English interiors of the late 17th century, in palaces, churches, and great country houses.

Esterly's own experience in limewood foliage carving gives him unprecedented insight into Gibbons's methods. Unique photographs illustrate techniques, while spectacular interior shots show the carvings in their original settings.

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.
