Description:
San Francisco: Paul Elder & Morgan Shepard / (Twentieth Century Press), 1902. Softcover. Fine. First edition. Octavo. 12 leaves printed rectos only. Stitched illustrated buff stiff paper wrappers printed in red and gold. Illustrated with photographs applied from behind into a die-cut window on both the front and back wrapper (the only one of the five Roland books so constructed). No typeset text, all the captions and borders were almost certainly drawn by Morgan Shepard. Unusual pressed grass and bark endpapers. Just about fine. Nicely designed and uncommon photographically illustrated children's book depicting the adventures of Baby Roland (Hansen's son), a lovable scamp who mostly stands around and looks cute. In this adventure, he stands on a box. Hansen was a Canadian architect who was debilitated late in life and amused himself by taking Kodak photographs at his Berkeley, California home. This last of the five Roland books, in unusually nice condition, and in our experience, the scarcest of the series.
