[Charles Agvent]

BEMELMANS, Ludwig. MADELINE AND THE BAD HAT. New York: The Viking Press, 
(1956). First Edition. Folio (8-3/4"x 12-1/8") in decorated green cloth. 
Illustrated with color plates by the author. The First Limited AUTOGRAPH 
Edition, preceding the Trade Edition by 3 months. One of 985 copies, of 
which 885 were for sale. This is likely one of the 100 not for sale as 
it is not just SIGNED but also INSCRIBED, in this case "To Armand 
[Hammer and his wife] and Frances with true love/seldom extended 
by/Ludwig." Bemelmans has further enhanced this copy with an ORIGINAL 
DRAWING of Pepito the Bad Hat filling the page opposite the limitation 
page. With a booklet from Hammer Galleries advertising this autographed 
limited edition. Slight fraying to the spine tips and one small spot at 
the center of the spine. Very Good, lacking the slipcase.
Armand Hammer was an industrialist and philanthropist as well as an avid 
art collector. (#020223)        $2,500
