About This Item
New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1933. First Edition. In terms of pure condition, the best copy we've seen of this early, partial catalog raisonné of Kent's work, and the only copy we've handled with the publisher's box. A stunning copy of a book typically found well-worn. First Printing. Quarto (27.5cm); blue and white pictorial cloth; orange topstain; dustjacket; publisher's original box; [viii],64,[86]pp, with color frontispiece and more than 130 illustrations printed by the Lakeside Press. Ink publication date and a small patch of erasure to upper front endpaper, pinpoint wear to crown, else a fresh, Fine copy. Dustjacket is unclipped (priced $3.75), with some trivial wear to extremities, a few tiny tears, and two tiny nicks at crown; bright, unfaded, and Near Fine. Together with the original publisher's unprinted box - sunned, a little edgeworn, with two joints split on the lid; Very Good+.
