Description

New York: Grosset & Dunlap Circa 1925 (1909). 3rd Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Color Plates By E. (Edwin) Roscoe (Ross) Shrader And Herbert Moore, Decorations On Every Edge Of Every Page By Edwin J. Prittie. . 158 Pp. + Eight Full Color Plates, Including The Earliest Plates By Shrader, Later Head Of Faculty At The Otis Art Institute From 1919 To 1949 And President Of The California Art Club From 1924 To 1930 And Again In 1934. Green Cloth, Gilt And Black Lettering And Illustration. First Published 1909, Reprinted By Barse & Hopkins, Reprinted Later (As This Copy) By Grosset & Dunlap. A Children's History Of European Exploration In The Western Hemisphere In The Sixteenth And Seventeenth Centuries. Although The Title Refers To A Finding Of America Which Is A Concept That Would Have Been Of The Greatest Surprise To The Inhabitants Who Were Found, The Book Is Otherwise Remarkable For Its Great Evenness Of Discussion Of Explorers Nd The Natives, A Children's Basic History Which I Think Would Even Be Entirely Politically Correct Today And Which Is A Credit To, And Perhaps A Landmark Change In, American Children's Literature. The Book Is Clean, Hinges Solid, Gilt And Black Lettering Bright And Complete, Some Rubbing To Gold Background Of Illustration, No Names Or Marks, Frayed Across Top And Bottom Of Spine And A Few Small Frays At Tips.
