Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia: The Penn Publishing Company, 1922. Reprint of 1916 Edition. Decorative cloth with colored plate on cover. Very Good. Virginia Watson & George Wharton Edwards. Quarto (9 3/4" x 7 5/8" x 1 3/4"), decorative blue cloth with gilt lettering on spine & front cover with Indian decorative inlaid borders surrounding a full-color portrait of Pocohontas and two girls on a paste-down photographic plate affixed to the front cover; full-color frontispiece and 8 colored plates by Virginia Watson plus map, drawings and decorations by George Wharton Edwards, pictorial endpapers depicting Pocohonts and family in a lodge, viii, 9-306 pages. Weight: 2 lbs. 7 oz. Wonderfully illustrated biography on the Native American Powhatan Princess Pocahontas ([aka "Matoaka"] d.1617). She is famous for her marriage to merchant adventurer John Rolfe (c.1585-1622; m.1614-17) and their association with the British colonial settlement at Jamestown, Virginia.<br /> <br /> The full-colour plates by Virginia Warson (born 1872; also author-illustrator of With Cortes the Conqueror, With LaSalle the Explorer, & Ginevra) are unfoxed with excellent definition and colouration; the drawings and decorations by George Wharton Edwards are detailed and well defined.<br /> <br /> The cloth is firm and square with hinges tight; the front cover has moderate wear to the color paste-down plate. The medium-stock pages are clean and lightly unformly toned. No previous ownership markings. No dust jacket. Clear protective plastic jacket added for protection.
