SPIELMANN, M. H. & LAYARD, G. S [GREENAWAY, Kate]. KATE GREENAWAY. New 
York: Putnam's, 1905. First Edition. Original decorated green cloth; 
illustrated with numerous plates, some in color. This copy enhanced by a 
brief AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS) by Greenaway dated 9 April 1886 
setting up a visit and an ORIGINAL PENCIL SKETCH on a 4" x 4-1/2" paper, 
not signed but by Greenaway, of a man with a cane. The letter is neatly 
tipped to the verso of the front endpaper and the sketch is laid in 
loosely. On the half title page is a long 1905 inscription by one named 
Waldo consisting primarily of a poem of tribute to Greenaway. Very Good 
with some nice additions. (#003485)        $600.00
