Sobre este artículo
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1925. First Edition. Original Cloth. Fine/Clamshell Box Fine. Maxfield Parrish. Folio. Pp. 46. Illustrated ownership page (space for owner's name remains blank). Full-color frontis. with tissue guard. Title page vignette and illustrated page of dramatis personae. With eleven full-page color plates and nine large color illustrations in text. Illustrated endpapers. Publisher's black cloth with color pictorial plate mounted on front board. A superb, fresh copy housed in a striking custom black morocco clamshell box. Often cited as the most attractive book illustrations by Parrish.
Referenced by Barbara Bader as "the one American work of consequence" of children's picture books of the 1920s, she suggests Parrish's elaborate illustrations may have been chosen by the publisher "to demonstrate the capability of the new Western [Printing Company] plant in Poughkeepsie," used by Scribner's, which allowed for the elaborate four-color process to be realized (American Picturebooks from Noah's Ark to the Beast Within, p. 126).
The notably bright condition is at odds with the condition of most juvenilia; binding now protected with a removable, clear archival sleeve within the clamshell box.
