About This Item
New York:: D. Appleton and Company, 1898., 1898. 25 cm 8vo. xvi, [1], 1117, [1] pp. 204 illus. (7 color), index. Original brown blind- and gilt-stamped cloth; joints heavily mended with kozo, spine ends and extremities worn. Bookplate of Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Library - by Paul Landacre. As is. BOOKPLATE OF CHILDREN's HOSPITAL LOS ANGELES, LIBRARY - BY PAUL LANDACRE. First edition. Cole clearly names Holt and Jacobi as the chief leaders in advancing the field of pediatrics at the end of the nineteenth century. This monograph is the most important of its time as related to children's health. 'A classic' says Cole, this volume documents the reason Holt is considered the father of modern scientific American pediatrics. / The bookplate, though unsigned, is from 1938 and designed by Paul Landacre and is one of three known states of the plate, according to Jake M. Wien, who has compiled a catalogue raisonne of Landacre's work. Wien writes of this bookplate, "All three versions are of unknown editions, and surviving examples are scarce." See: Melissa Beck, The Typographic Bookplates of Ward Ritchie, Santa Monica, California: Karmiole, 1990, no. 54. Ritchie printed most of the final state impressions of this bookplate. EXTRA POSTAGE WILL BE REQUIRED.
