Ernest H. Shepard – Drawn from Memory with Drawn from Life – First Editions

First editions, first printings. Published by Methuen in 1957 and 1961. These are near fine copies. Both wrappers are bright and clean, with some identical wear to the spine tips and corners. Neither have been price clipped and show the 21s and 25s net prices. The boards are in original publishers cloth and free from notable chips and marks. The early edition is free from previous owners ink, however the later has one small previous owners name to the front flyleaf. The text blocks are bright and clean, but with some very sparse spots of foxing. Overall, this is a near fine pair.
Drawn from the author own experiences of youth.
