Drawn From Memory

Descripción

190pp, portrait plate frontispiece and numerous line drawing illustrations in text. In green cloth-covered boards with gilt titles on red label on spine (boards slightly faded, gently rounded on spine ends). There's is a flamboyant previous owner's name and address on the front free paste down, else internally neat, clean and bright. In its original dust jacket (darkened on reverse, lightly bumped at edges, flat crease on rear inner flap). Dust jacket now protected in a Mylar wrapper, fitted without the use of tape or adhesives. Ernest H Shepard, illustrator of Wind in the Willows and Winne the Pooh, tells of his own childhood; not so much an autobiography of a well-known artist who first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1901, but a record of what a small boy, growing up in St John's Wood in the late 19th century, saw all around him - horse-drawn buses and chimney sweeps, Drury Lane Pantomimes and Queen Victoria's Jubilee, road sweepers and Whitely's fire.
