Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Good. This is an American reprint consisting of two stories bound together: "The Lost Knife", and "A Wet Afternoon" (the illustrations for which are quite similar in style). The book was published in 1884 by Dodd, Mead and Company. Again, it is a reprint . the stories (at least "The Lost Knife") were first…published in England, and then there are earlier reprints issued in the United States. Indeed there are several versions of the stories . several binding variants. As we can see from the nature of the illustrations, it is obvious that the plates for the book had been frequently, and heavily used. This was typical of popular juvenile works. According to World Catalog (OCLC), Kate Greenaway contributed the illustrations for this story ("The Lost Knife"). She is not credited in this edition, but the illustrations, at least many of them, are obviously by her hand. The binding on this copy is a generic publisher's trade binding. All the same it has a charm of its own. Dressed in an embossed cloth-covered board binding, colored black on deep ultramarine (blue), the front cover design depicts a boy looking over a fence . behind him is a horse. The boy holds a riding crop. There are flowers in the foreground, and birds roost in the rafters above. The title is lettered in black beneath the boy. In the upper right corner of the front cover is a generic paper paste-down chromolithographic illustration depicting a lovely young girl.

A BLIND WOMAN'S APPEAL. (Apparently a variation of the Petersburg, Virginia alms request sheet, i.e. an appeal for charity, of poem "The Blind Woman's Appeal.")

Contact seller5-star sellerSingle-sided folded yellow paper sheet. Full dimensions: H 21.7cm x L 9.2cm. OCLC notes poem of 8 stanzas of 8 lines each - however this sheet has, after a prefatory five-line paragraph, a seven stanza poem of 4-4-6-6-6-6-4 lines respectively. Sheet extracted from a book with an 1867 inscription of a Memphis, Tennessee and Oxfor…d, Mississippi dual resident so perhaps two locations of printing possibility and an approximate date. Extrapolating from the OCLC citations, it seems that "The Blind Woman's Appeal" may well have become a generic handout for those afflicted by sight loss and left to panhandling and thus variations/versions migrated around the country during 1860s-1870s. OCLC also notes "A similar work was published, with appropriate gender changes, under [the] title: 'The Blind Man's Appeal.'".

Together with Pinchus Kremegne, Henri Epstein, Leo Koenig, Marek Szwarc and Leon Indenbaum, Lichtenstein was one of the artists behind the publication of 'Machmadim' (Precious Ones), a textless Jewish art journal that was first published in 1912.After [World War I], Lichtenstein moved between London, Poland, Paris, and America, where he spent most of his life, reviving the Machmadim Publishing House [the publisher of this work] devoted to the production of artistic Yiddish books" (Ben Uri Gallery).
