FLORA: A BOOK OF DRAWINGS
London: William Heinemann, 1919. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Bianco's first illustrated book; her illustrations apparently moved de la Mare to compose these poems. About the nicest copy we could expect to see in original dustracket, which has expectedly imparted the faintest of toning to the edges of the white covers. Little evidence of use or readership at all; internals unblemished. The brown paper, illustrated dustjacket is a tad soiled at top edge where it shows little creasing at the front top edge and some very shallow chips top edge rear panel and a narrow strip of loss head of spine. This book ends with the poem Sephina on page 43 with a small drawing at the end of the poem. Near Fine / Near Fine. Item #011793
