[Folkard, Charles- Original Art for Teddy Tail's] Eight Original Pen and Ink Drawings for Teddy Tail's Fairy Tale and Babyland

1919. Offered here are six original pen and drawings by CHARLES FOLKARD, noted British book illustrator and later comic book creator and illustrator; his "Teddy Tail's" series, one of the earliest and longest running British newspaper comics. As one might expect, some of the most renowned (as these) were assembled into book form, and this one appeared in 1919 published in London by A & C. Various sizes: the cover illustration, most notably, being the largest, 12 x 9 inches, with red watercolor painted in on the title and author credit, as well as on the trousers of the official and the vest of the mouse, both as they appear on the cover of the book--and all details (except for a few color highlights added by the publisher) are identical as they appear on the cover. The other seven drawings are about 5 x 7 inches, two on artboard are mounted, and four on paper. Each has the page number where the drawing appears in the book in pencil on the verso. and four on paperAll in very good or better condition. A scarce grouping by this noted illustrator.
