Inside flap is clipped at top and bottom with $3.95 price stamped on flap at top; book is clean and tight in very good condition; DJ is G with very slight shelfwear. Pictorial boards.

Book is VG; clean and tight; DJ is good with minor edgewear; very rare signed copy illustrated by Maurice Sendak eleven years before he hit it big with Where the Wild Things Are. Blurb on rear flap of DJ mentions Caldecott Medal so this dates the DJ by at least 1964. Hanrahan claims that her copy with a price of $2.95 was issued just after the Caldecott Medal and was issued in 1964 this copy would post-date that.

Bound: loose in original wrappers housed in red publisher's slipcase paper over boards. New. With mezzotints printed by the artist Judith Rothchild the text was printed by Albert Woda the publisher who also designed the layout. This is Judith Rothchild's first livre d'artiste. Noted poet Ruth Fainlight has contributed a moving poem using the imagery of pomegranates and its association with the Greek myth of Persephone and Demeter to pose questions about the life process aging revisiting our youth death and rebirth. Ms. Rothchild's pomegranates are rich and warm almost supernaturally lit images -- always in pairs -- exposing its complicated fruit. The artist usually works in the pastel medium using vibrant strong colors usually still lifes bringing life to inanimate objects with magical light. Encouraged by master engraver Albert Woda to work in mezzotints Ms. Rothchild has created six haunting images to perfectly complement Ms. Fainlight's poem. See illustration.7.

13381Rose Ruth Starr American 1887-1 965. NOAH AND THE ARK. Lithograph in colors Circa 1940s. Edition size not known. Signed in pencil. Printed on laid paper. 8 3/4 x 11 inches image 10 x14 inches sheet. Losses at lower edge scotch tape residue verso visible on recto to all the edges. Rose worked in the Chesapeake Bay area and chose African American people and her sense of their understanding of Biblical themes as major subjects for her lithographs and screeprints. As America comes to terms with the ways in which it finds permissible or not the depiction and characterization of one identity group by members of another Rose's work will be ripe for appraisal and re-evaluation. Whatever the verdict regarding her presentation of the content it will be recognized for its imaginative composition and her formal mastery of the printmaking techniques she used. unknown
