About this Item

Original ad-hoc mock-up for a never-published children's book by US illustrator Andrew Loomis. Loomis was an illustrator, commercial artist, and author best known for his instructional books. This mock-up is a working manuscript created by the artist from scratch, featuring boards "bound" at the spine by the artist with tape and other handmade elements of a typical printed book: a hand-lettered cover title and penciled-in title page, large pencil drawings with hand-drawn borders and tipped-in captions, and a final farewell leaf with a large signature by Loomis. A look at the origins of a picture book that never reached the public. 12'' x 9''. Original paper boards attached at spine with tape by author, front board lettered and lined by hand. Penciled title page, followed by sheets of pencil drawings (generally 3/4 of each sheet) with tipped-in slips of typewritten text. Plate titles in ink at top margins. Some additional pencil notes and corrections. [4], 32, [2] pages. Signed by Loomis on final leaf. Soiling to covers, original tape spine chipping and beginning to perish, loosening parts of interior text block. Seller Inventory # 37943
