The piece is large - image measure 19” wide x 8 1/2” high on artist board 22 x 11 1/2, signed. It is incredibly wonderful both in imagery and execution. The piece shows Mother Goose and her brood of little goslings going for a swim. Six beautiful bird houses and birds are in the background. It appears in the book as a double page spread on pages 26-7. $1950.00

Conover has been illustrating children’s books since 1974. Her work is noted for rich colors and incredible attention to detail, some of which is executed using a magnifying glass for accuracy. There is plenty to look at but without the overcrowding that hampers many books.

Johnson 1807. 12mo (3 1/4 x 5 1/8”), marbled wraps, 24 leaves, Fine.

One story tells of a cow suckling pigs, another reports how a pet lion killed and beheaded its keeper. One deplores slavery and another tells of the danger in driving in foggy weather. Other stories are quite bizarre.

EDUCATION. RECITS MORAUX. ALBUM OF LITHOGRAPHS. Offered here is a set of 18 large hand-colored lithos published by Hachette circa 1838. They are bound into a period sheepskin binding that measures 18” wide 13 1/2” high. Each lithograph, printed by P. Bineteau, measures 17 1/2 wide x 13” high and all are in Fine condition. This set of illustrations was one of several sets that were used to reinforce concepts in schools for poor and orphaned 2-6 year olds known as “asylum rooms” that began in 1826. In his book “De la Bienfaisance publique (1839). Baron Joseph-Marie de Gerando advocates for the value of educating these children (and for all less fortunate people). Gerando was a noted educational theorist whose work heavily influenced Emerson, Thoreau and the American Transcendental movement. He describes the way the lithographs were used: “To show children the images of the objects we resort to etchings; the comparison between those images and the memory the children have of those objects trains their judgment and memory and entertains them... It is now rare to find such ready-made collections. It is now necessary to get them for the asylum rooms’ needs... In Paris a selection of engravings was recently published to back up the first lessons given in those establishments” (vol.II p. 40, 50). Question sheets were published separately and not present here but the captions and the images really speak for themselves. They portray empathy (giving to the poor), cruelty to animals (beating a dog), child abuse forcing a child to pull a cart like an animal and much more. It is extremely rare to find a set like this, especially since most were probably glued to boards for ease of use in the rooms. This is a fascinating item.

6 FABULOUS WATERCOLORS 348. McPHAIL,DAVID. PIG PIG RIDES. Offered here are 6 FABULOUS WATERCOLORS used for McPhail’s wonderful picture book published by Dutton that features an adorable character named Pig Pig. Two pieces are large measuring 20” wide x 15” high. The other four are 11 x 11”, 10 x 11”, 9 x 11” and 5 x 11”. All depict a glorious humanized Pig Pig. McPhail was born in Newburyport, Mass.. He has illustrated the work of others, notably Nancy Willard’s Sailing To Cythera #348 which was one of AIGA’s 50 Books of the Year in 1974, and he has authored and illustrated a profusion of books on his own. His Captain Toad and the Motorbike was likewise included in AIGA’s 1979 show of 50 Best Books. McPhail belongs to the new breed of children’s book illustrators, along with James Marshall, Trina Schart Hyman and others - who bring a fresh originality to children’s literature. McPhail’s style ranges broadly from intricate detail reminiscent of Sendak’s and E.H. Shepard’s line illustrations to the broad strokes of William Steig.

This is one of the most beautiful and extravagant productions of any of the Brandywine artists. Violet Oakley was a woman ahead of her time. She was a highly acclaimed muralist, a feminist, a socialist and a pacifist. It was her pacifism that contributed to her undertaking this book, going to press during the Conference on the Limitation of Armaments held in Washington D.C. A preliminary leaf notes “When it is published a few weeks hence, may it open its leaves to a World set free from the bondage and the burden of competitive armaments.” In 1902, Oakley received the commission to complete 18 murals for the Pennsylvania state Capitol Building in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Edwin Abbey was given the largest part of the commission. When he died #393 in 1911, Oakley was asked to finish his part of the project as well. This commission marked “the first time such recognition had been accorded to a woman in America.” (Studios At Cogslea p.29). The Holy Experiment refers to the State of Pennsylvania and represents a summary of Oakley’s work for the murals in Harrisburg. The text is entirely in calligraphy (printed in red, blue and black) and features 22 of the most magnificent, richly colored, gilt illuminated plates, each mounted on hand-made paper with gilt borders. A few of the plates have fold-out panels. There are also several woodcuts throughout the text. A masterpiece of printing as well as a beautiful book. Due to its large size, few of these copies have survived intact. $4000.00

LIMITED TO ONLY 300 NUMBERED COPIES SIGNED BY VIOLET OAKLEY. This is one of the most beautiful and extravagant productions of any of the Brandywine artists. Oakley was a woman ahead of her time. She was a highly acclaimed muralist, a feminist, a socialist and a pacifist. It was her pacifism that prompted her to move to Geneva as an artistic ambassador to the League of Nations. The Law Triumphant was created to commemorate this visit and the Disarmament Conference held in Geneva. The book also celebrates the 250th anniversary of the founding of Pennsylvania by William Penn (his “Holy Experiment”) and the bi-centennial of George Washington’s birth. The pages are loose, laid into sections with printed covers. The first part of the book contains the text, with typography done with the help of fellow Brandywine artist HARVEY DUNN. It is set in Garamond type and printed on high quality San Marco paper. The second part of the book contains the illustrations - 71 tipped in plates in color and black and white. The text describes the color illustrations used in The Law Triumphant and explains Oakley’s philosophy on the importance of world peace - especially relevant today.

First edition of Seuss’s first reader (correct binding paper) in dust wrapper of unknown issue that was PRINTED WITHOUT ANY PRICE AT ALL. The original price of this book is the cause of considerable confusion and from our research, the sequence appears to be as follows: The first reader was originally published at $2.00. It was so successful that the publishers decided to make a series of beginning readers. They also planned 2 other changes -to lower the price of the series to $1.95 and to bind the books in glazed paper instead of flat paper. In the interim, before the next title could come out, they either used the remaining sheets of the first printing or printed new sheets to tide them over. However the dust wrappers in this issue have no price at all. Next came glazed paper copies in dust wrappers with 195/195 price and then the wrapper text and book covers were changed completely to reflect the series. So, those copies with 200/200 price are first issues of both books and jacket, those in jackets without a price are first or second issues of the book in second issue jackets. Illustrated in bright color throughout. The importance of this book cannot be overstated. In addition to becoming a household name, the Cat In The Hat is extremely important in the history of education and children’s literature.
