About This Item
This is a rare, twice-signed presentation copy of "Poems of Childhood" by Eugene Field - presumably the personal copy of children's author Anne Parrish, cousin of illustrator Maxfield Parrish. The book is signed in pen to "Anne Parrish" by MAXFIELD PARRISH on a half title page. On a prior half title page, Anne Parrish wrote "Anne Parrish from M.F.P." (Maxfield Fred Parrish) in pen. 1903 1st edition; Charles Scribner's Sons; New York. The book contains an illustrated title page in color and eight full-page drawings in color by Maxfield Parrish; illustrated end papers in color. Gilt top page edges.
Condition:
The front cover illustration has some scuffing and a dime-sized stain at the top edge; the left edge of the back cover has 4 *tiny* cloth tears; sharp corners. Tight binding with no loose pages; crack at the front hinge between the end papers (despite the crack, the front cover is firmly attached and is not shaky). There are occasional small foxing spots on the pages, otherwise clean with only a few random, light stains/smudges. The book is signed by Anne Parrish (cousin of Maxfield) on the half title page ("Anne Parrish from M.F.P."); Maxfield Parrish has written his cousin's name ("Anne Parrish") on a subsequent half title page - both signatures are in pen. Overall the book is in very good condition.
