This original, out-of-print lithographic book art was published in 1947. Lathrop's 'drawings are outstanding not only for their sheer beauty, but also for their accurate and sympathetic understanding of animal life.' -- bsq
Signed by Artist: Yes.
Dimensions: 7 3/4 " x 6 3/4 " inches with 1 " inch margin surrounding the image.
Detailed Condition ~ Full page image is a lithographic print softly rendered in deep brown tones on light-cream colored paper.
EXCELLENT. Age toned edges. Printing on back that does not distract from artwork. Rough sewn binding edge. Some rippling across top margin and turning creases present along the bottom & right margins. Soft, bumped corners. The image areas remain crisp & clear. Trimming diminishes the value of this type of ephemera thus the piece is untrimmed, all original, as published.
This uncommon find is an original antique print, not a reproduction or digital copy and if possible, you antique print includes its adjoining text page, to enhance framing and to help in the preservation & design.
