Item description from seller

(no dust jacket, possibly as issued) [modest shelfwear, black mark along bottom edge of front cover, small pencil check-marks next to some catalog entries]. (B&W art reproductions) A nicely-produced catalogue of works by this Illinois-born painter and watercolorist (1868-1933), who was well-regarded in his day. The introduction, although stated on the title page as "by Holger Cahill," is largely comprised of Hart's own comments on his life and work, apparently derived from an interview, although the 17-page piece is edited in a strange way (without quotation marks to set off his words from the third-person observations of Cahill). This is followed by a "Catalogue of Prints," which lists 82 individual works, although only 24 are reproduced in the next and final section of the book, each on its own page. The limitation statement reads: "Of this edition, containing an original lithograph, 250 copies have been printed on Normandy vellum, specially bound, numbered and signed by the artist"; below this is written "#229 / Pop Hart / Holger Cahill." (The original lithograph, the book's frontispiece, is protected by a tissue guard, and is entitled "The Champion, Mexico, 1928"; it depicts the aftermath of a cockfight, with a group of spectators observing one bird picking at the corpse of the other.) Signed by Artist. …

Store description

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.…
