About This Item
New York: John H. Eggers Co, 1920. Overall near fine in very good box.. Scarce set of 12 miniature books about the magical adventures of humanized bear cubs, complete in original box. Grace Drayton was one of the first women cartoonists, and found great success with her comic strips and advertising art; she was also a founder of the Plastic Club, a Philadelphia art group organized and run by women. She is best known for her chubby-faced children characters, an aesthetic which can be seen in the BABY BEARS.
