NF/VG. First edition (1925 bottom of title page, Harper code H-Z for Aug 1925). Black cloth with color pictorial label by Hogg/Wyeth on front cover, gilt lettering and rules on spine. The book is clean and tight with no prior owner marks, but does have a light lower corner bend to all pages. Contains color frontispiece (repeated on cover label) and 3 full page B&W illustrations by Hogg/Wyeth. In a scarce 94% complete DJ (with a printed repeat of the Hogg/Wyeth cover label) that has a 1" X 2" triangular chip upper LH of front panel, 1/2" X 3/4" chip upper flap fold, 2" X 1" triangular chip lower front panel, edgewear and some other smaller adge chips, and light rubbing and soiling (not price clipped). This is the first book appearance of Zack Hogg, and there were at least 3 appearances in Country Gentleman that year including one color cover - all are unmistakeably by N.C. Wyeth. Most experts (including Douglas Allen) view these early Hogg appearances as done by the master's hand, the pseudonym perhaps adopted to disguise his work from Harpers (and others) during a time when the market for illustrators was contracting (Scribners magazine had essentially ceased using illustration after about 1920). There were also a series of Etude magazine covers done in 1928/1929 which were signed by Zack Hogg, but clearly by a different and lesser hand - this is perhaps the 'real' Zack Hogg, with a 3 paragraph ambiguous biography that states 'Zack Hogg' lived in Chadds Ford down the hill from the Wyeths. Given the poor quality of the 1928/1929 Etude work, it seems clear that there are 2 Zack Hoggs - the early 1925 version which in fact was done by N.C. Wyeth (perhaps on behalf of an untalented student), and the later 1929 version which is the work of an uninspired and not very good artist. A similar example of Wyeth taking over the work of a student is that of Hawthorne Howland, whose excellent work for Scribners circa 1916 is distinctly and delightfully Wyeth, but Howland never received much attention thereafter. This is a very collectible book, especially because of the presence of the very scarce dust jacket - the book itself is uncommon, but the dust jacket is exceptionally scarce.
