Fine. � A well-preserved quartet from the California Bookplate Society, America s second bookplate club, which "under Sheldon Cheney, published California Book-plates from 1906-1911" (Johnson, A Treasury of Bookplates, vi). Cheney (1886-1990) grew up in Berkeley and was a well-regarded art, theatre and dance critic who penned a number of volumes on modernist theatre. Composed under his editorship at the age of 20, these pamphlets must be among the earliest published examples of his writing. Seller Inventory # 105080
