[Rarebooks] FS: Finely Bound Collection of 18 ORIGINAL INK-AND-PENCIL DRAWINGS by A. B. Frost

[Charles Agvent]

FROST, A(rthur) B(urdett). STYLE. A TALE IN THIRTEEN CHAPTERS. Oblong 
Folio (12" x 10-1/2") bound in modern full rust-colored morocco leather 
with gilt rules to the covers and gilt lettering on the front cover and 
spine, housed in a clamshell box with gilt-lettered morocco spine. A 
collection of 18 ORIGINAL INK-AND-PENCIL DRAWINGS, 2 SIGNED and dated 
'91 by Frost, to illustrate the story as published along with the 
published pages reproducing the drawings. In addition to the published 
drawings, there are a few related images or alternate versions not used. 
All are mounted behind glassine covers, with the largest drawing 
measuring 8" x 10" and most 6-3/4" x 5-1/2." We have been unable to 
identify the publication where this series appeared. It concerns Mr. 
Pippy, a still life painter with doubts about his work, who asks Prof. 
Slinger to criticize his painting. Prof. Slinger proceeds to completely 
repaint the picture as the horrified Mr. Pippy looks on. Fine in a close 
to Fine box with a small stain at the top of the spine.

A. B. Frost was one of the great illustrators of the "Golden Age of 
American Illustration." He illustrated more than 90 books and produced 
thousands of illustrations for newspapers and magazines. He studied 
under Thomas Eakins and William Merritt Chase. He is perhaps best known 
for his hunting illustrations. (#019187) $7,500.00
