Sobre este artículo
Chicago: The Bookhouse For Children. Near Fine. 1952. Twenty-Ninth Printing. Hardcover. This book is literally filled with color illustrations by Katharine Sturges (1890-1979), all of which accompany short, poetic verses about aspects of Japanese life and the landscape. Katherine Sturges' husband Clayton Knight was an author and illustrator as was her son, Hillary Knight, the creator of the original Eloise image in 1955, which he said was based on one of his mother's paintings. The covers are the publisher's original blue cloth covers with gilt spine and cover lettering and a beautiful circular color past-down on the front cover. With the exception of a trivial bit of wear to the top and bottom of the spine, there is virtually no wear to the covers or the paste-down. The lovely end papers are red with a colorful illustrations of cranes. This is a nice clean, tight and unmarked book with no interior or exterior markings, no owner names, and no bookplates. This is a very nice copy. ; Color Illustrations; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 191 pages .
