2611Homemade Book Knight's Tale--Part One from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales<br /> <br /> Apparent homemade book with green paper over thin board. Front pastedown has become unglued. Book measures 9 3/16 x 6 inches with 24 unnumbered pages. Light soiling and edgewear; interior clean. Very good condition.<br /> <br /> Entirely charming and beautiful student-made book apparently created by a student at the Rhode Island School of Design as noted in manuscript on first endpaper along with "Roberta Alpern Nov. 2". <br /> <br /> The small book is the telling of Part One of the Knight's Tale from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales completed in a fine calligraphic hand with rubricated initials and three decently executed plates. <br /> <br /> Likely a student assignment we have been unsuccessful in definitively tracking Roberta Alpern. Possibly dates to the 30's or 40's. Regardless a wonderful example of a finely executed homemade book. unknown
