Peter Rabbitt
Springfield, MA, McLoughlin Bros, 1938. Hardcover. 16mo. Glazed pictorial paper over boards. (54pp). Numerous color illustrations. Very good. Mild edgewear, mainly at head and tail of spine.

Picture History Portfolio
New York, New York Times Co, Publisher, 1923. Hardcover. Folio. Purple cloth with gilt lettering and elaborate gilt rules. 480pp. Extensive illustrations, marbled endpapers and page edges. Very good. Binding a bit irregularly sunned and lightly edgeworn, but tight and attractive overall; text block lightly age toned as expected. First edition.

A remarkable view of newspaper coverage of the 1920s in a superb form usually not seen. .
