Steinlen qui les représentait si bien, aimait-il vraiment les chats ?

1979176 pages. Index. "When Norman Rockwell was at the height of his career in the late 1940's, he wrote a delightful book called How I Make a Picture. It was the basis for an advanced illustration course at the Famous Artists School, but was never made available to the general public. We are now delighted to have this unique opportunity to make Rockwell's original book available for the first time in an expanded version, containing full-color reproductions of the artists best work along with previously unpublished color sketches." - from Publisher's Note. Book clean and unmarked with light wear. Average wear to dust jacket which bears some staining and a taped repair to bottom edge of back panel. A sound copy of this special book. Please note: we believe the ISBN stated on the publisher's page of this copy, 083202380x, is incorrect and have changed it to what we believe is the correct number. Book

A very good or better set in a handsome signed binding by Riviere and Son. First edition later issue of this imitation of Pierce Egan's Life in London 1821. While sometimes attributed to Egan the work was possibly written by John Badcock. "Out of the sixty-five imitations of it which Egan stated that he had reckoned the most important was Real Life in London. which was published in sixpenny numbers in 1821 with excellent illustrations by Heath Alken Dighton Rowlandson and others. Real Life in London is a pleasanter book than its prototype. Some have held that Egan wrote it; but the author had a purer style a cleaner mind and a wider knowledge of London than Egan" The Cambridge History of English and American Literature. "From a bibliographical point of view one of the most complicated and bewildering books ever published rivaling Pickwick in the tangle of variant states that exist both in text and plates. The work had a tremendous success probably out-rivaling in popularity its prototype. A difficult feature of the book is that two printers. printed copies textually the same page by page with only minor variations in the settings and this coupled with the fact that during the eight or nine years it was being reprinted makes the whole vast output all 'first editions' but with innumerable states and variants that continually overlap one with the other" Abbey. "Originally published in 56 parts on completion the work was issued in boards. Later copies were bound in publisher's cloth. A book full of contrarities and difficulties for the bibliographer there being innumerable variations of the plates. The difficulties are further increased by many copies in modern bindings having been completed or made up of different issues giving combinations that are not true variations" Tooley. Printers: R.
