1919
by Dale, Ludvig S.
1919. London: Ernest Nister and New York: E.P. Dutton & Co., n.d.
12mo, title page and six plates printed in full color and gilt, mounted to leaves. Original beveled card boards with textured cloth backstrip, printed in gilt, red, and green. Boards lightly soiled and spotted, contents a touch age-toned but clean.
ยง A beautifully printed facsimile of illuminated calligraphy, each page presenting a single gentle homily or maxim. A charming gift book. Inscribed by the author: "After all there is no greater way of life than to spend yourself in service as you are doing it. To Harry W. Rice with my very best wishes, Ludvig S. Dale, May 21, 1919." Rice is perhaps the American watercolourist (1853-1934). Printed in Bavaria. (Inventory #: 126286)
