[Signed] [First Edition] THE LADY OF THE LAKE Christy, Howard Chandler; Scott, Sir Walter [Used - Very good] [Hardcover]
785.18 CAD
First Christy-illustrated edition of this beloved poem of the Highlands, populated by beautiful "Christy Girls" - very scarce signed. Howard Chandler Christy's art of elegant, attractive women led to him being hailed as the successor to Charles Dana Gibson, and the "Gibson Girl" of the 1890s and 1900s was soon replaced by the "Christy Girl" of the 1910s. Christy would go on to illustrate a number of famous WWI recruitment posters, including the iconic 1917 "Gee I wish I were a Man, I'd Join the Navy." THE LADY OF THE LAKE was published just as the popularity of the Christy Girl was approaching its zenith, and showcases the artist's talent for depicting beautiful women (and men). Copies signed by him are very scarce. 11.5'' x 8.75''. Publisher's green cloth pictorial boards with gilt, yellow, and green stamping. Illustrated in black, white, and blue with color frontispiece and title page, with 12 color plates. [112] pages. Signed by Christy to title page, dated 1910.

[Signed] [First Edition] Original Art and Book for BABYHOOD: STEP BY STEP Scott, Janet Laura [Used - Near fine] [Hardcover]
1835.18 CAD
Original art for and first edition of this darling baby book, demonstrating the artistic process to publication. The concept of the commercial baby book is directly tied to the changes in infant mortality rates that came as a result of medical advancements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Mothers purchased or were gifted baby books to record the milestones of their little ones. By standardizing the types of information that mothers should record, baby books that had once existed as a record of the gifts given to newborns "became primers in infant care and mass consumption" (Blakemore). Baby books featured illustrations of beautiful, rosy-cheeked infants, often rendered by prominent women artists. Janet Laura Scott was one such artist, having worked for Volland and various periodicals. The subtle pastels of Scott's final studies are similar to, but not the same as, the colors in the published version of BABYHOOD. Some of the fine details differ as well - a slight change in a spray of flowers, a repositioning of a hand, the removing of the ribbon decorations on a duvet. The reasons for this become clear when the studies and the illustrations are compared side-by-side: the art was simplified in order to be visually "read" better in the smaller book format, and the colors were brightened up to make them pop on the page. The watercolors also include penciled in text demonstrating how the images would interact with the larger layout of the page. An attractive case study in both domestic expectations of the period and the important changes that occur as art goes to print. 18'' x 14'' (art); 12'' x 8.5'' (book). Two watercolor illustrations and pencil page layouts on stuff card, each signed by Scott. Book with original cloth-backed boards, illustrated in color, entirely unused. [44] pages. Book with light bumping to corners and spine ends, a touch of toning to edges, one tiny spot of soil. Art with a few tiny areas of faint soil; remnants of early adhesive tape to rears. Bright.
