Beschreibung

Dated 1909 to both copyright and title pages, with the color frontisipiece of Mr. McGregor. First edition, in original green paper-covered boards showing modest wear, and with a neat green cloth spine covering. However, as spine covering shows no text, we presume this crisp spine covering is a professional replacement, reducing our overall grade to "good." Bees (not scissors) to endpapers. Sign in pg. 14 illustration reads "Peter Rabbit & Mother / Gardens Neatly Razed," etc. (this sign was removed after the first two printings.) Dots centered in the letters "O" to front board. First word of final line of text on pg. 75 is "had," as it should be. (Some later editions change this word to an ungrammatical "has.") Previous owner's name Margaret Sinclair written in two hands to illustrated front free endpaper. Although Miss Sinclair does not list her address here, this is from the same collection of Miss Margaret Sinclair / Russell House / Hampstead Heath that provided our 1903 "Tailor of Gloucester" with its 1903 gift inscription. 85 pp. Reduced from $300.
