From the collection of a children's book editor active in the 1940s to 50s, "JINX" is a unique, unpublished children's book manuscript by Catherine de Károlyi (1919-2006), a fashion designer best known for designing the first women's ready to wear collection for Hermès in the late 1960s. She began her career as a model in Paris. "JINX" is a 48 page corrected typescript with 6 original hand-painted illustrations done by the author herself, laid in a homemade green paper binder with a piece of tan burlap affixed to the front. A watercolor illustration by her is affixed to the cover. Title page reads story and illustrations by Countess Catherine Karolyi; adaptation into English by Elizabeth Burrows Archer. On the next page is the following note: "As Countess Karolyi was doing the illustrations in Paris while I was rewriting the story in Zurich there are several discrepancies between the illustrations and the text at the moment." Few sample illustrations. The story of a miniature boy, no bigger at the age of 7 than a milk bottle. He is given the nickname Jinx because of his bad luck. Over 30 pages of the text have corrections in pencil. Measures approx. 11.75" by 9" Very good. Minor toning, wear, short tears.…
