Beschreibung
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1888. An ideal candidate for rebacking as the spine cover is the only problem. A classic, well worth restoring. Much of the original leather spine remains (for reuse) although "Otto" has perished from the top as has a piece at the heel. SEE PHOTOS. Internal condition is FINE. NO foxing. Brief gift note on a preliminary blank page. All other pages are creamy white, clean and unmarked. Written and illustrated by Howard Pyle, with tissue-guarded frontispiece "In the Belfry." According to Morse & Brinckle, the book has 26 [not 24] full-page b/w plates, 36 decorations, 16 initials, for a total of 78 illustrations by Howard Pyle -- none previously published. The publisher's catalogue at the end reprints 5 other Pyle illustrations. This is the publisher's original half leather and green cloth binding, as advertised ("royal 8vo, half leather, $2.00") on this book's final page of ads. SEE PHOTOS. The front cover is elaborately and beautifully decorated in bright gold, black, red and gray. There is NONE of the usual cover fading. Brown coated end papers. Inner hinges are PERFECT. SEE PHOTO #8. 7" wide by 9" tall. Otto of the Silver Hand "was and is one of Pyle's great children's books." -- Pitz (p. 57). "It is the first and best of three historical tales intended for children." -- Pitz (p. 82). "[A] deeply moving story without a hint of preachiness," -- Pitz (p. 84). In Pitz's HOWARD PYLE (1975) there are more than a dozen Otto of the Silver Hand illustrations reproduced. BAL 16384. Morse & Brinckle pp.126-129. First Edition. Hardcover. Good - Fine condition. Illus. by Pyle, Howard. 173pp. + 16 pages of ads. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 025494
