Beschreibung

First edition. Offered here are two original drawings as possible designs for the title page of this book, together with the original and inscribed first edition book for which the final Bradley illustrative designs were used. The book in original publisherís polished light brown buckram. Presentation Copy, from the Author, Harry Smith, to H. I. Kimball, cofounder of the famed Stone and Kimball Press, in Chicago: ìTo H. I. Kimball Jr., with the compliments of Harry B. Smith, October, 1894. Together with two drawings by Will Bradley, who designed the final art for the title page, printed in red and black. The putative drawings by Bradley are: 1) a finely executed title page with a wonderful interpretive design of a butterfly with two long appendages extending downward, lettering of title in red, design work (blossoms) surrounding press and date at bottom, all in black ink, on folded 12mo sheet laid paper. The second is a smaller pencil rendering of the design in more cursory representation. Book is near fine, with brown stamped cover design, most likely by Bradley, as well. Extremely scarce and desirable Will Bradley conceptual design for a title page. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 5046
