Hardcover. Condition: Good. Compiled from the writings and artworks of Howard Pyle by Merle Johnson. Originally published 1921, this is a later printing with Harper's date code 'H-W' at copyright page; this code can refer to an August 1922 printing, but 1922-era printings of this book appear to have had MCMXXI at the title page, additional plates called for, and bibliographic captions to the illustration plates, which detailed the publications that those artworks originally appeared in. This copy lacks these points of issue, and so is most likely a printing from after Harper began recycling date codes, which would date this copy to August 1947. Black cloth with gilt spine titling and decoration, illustrated title plate at front panel. Light shelf-wear, light fading to spine, moderate rubbing to spine with most of the gilt rubbed away. Spine square. Binding sound. No jacket. Bookplate at front paste down, and faint remnant of another that has been removed. Interior else clean, pages lightly toned, text unmarked. With thirteen illustration plates in black-and-white and full-color; all plates present. Seller Inventory # BBS-2017789
