About This Item
Each of the Christmas cards laid in has an illustration by Leaf created especially for the card. One has an extra pen note and ink doodle by Leaf with a long note on the verso from Leaf's wife. Another is inscribed by Leaf. A wonderful work, in which the beauty of nonconformity still reads as subversive. 8'' x 7''. Original quarter tan cloth, red pictorial boards. Original unclipped ($1.00) red pictorial dust jacket. Yellow pictorial endpapers. Illustrated by Lawson throughout with black-and-white line drawings. [72] pages. Three Leaf family Christmas cards, approximately 4'' x 5.5'', laid in. Edgewear to boards, with tan cloth spine somewhat soiled. Jacket rather faded, especially at spine, with a few closed tears (the longest, 2'' on front panel, repaired with tape on verso); spine dried out with two small holes and faint evidence of repair.
