Description: (Peter Rabbit) Peter Rabbit, Little Red Hen and Owl and Pussy Cat. Newark, NJ & NY: Charles E. Graham & Co., n.d. (ca. 1920’s). Large 4to. Unpaginated (38pp.). Original grayish green laid paper over green cloth, color pictorial plate inset on the front board. Pictorial endpapers. Illustrated, including 16 color plates. The illustrations are drawn after Beatrix Potter, but they are not hers since The Tale of Peter Rabbit was pirated in America. The first pirated edition appeared in 1904. Dating this one is difficult but we estimate that this was printed in the 1920's based on the listing in OCLC WorldCat (which lists only two copies in institutional holdings) and based on the dated gift inscription (1926). Most dealers seem to estimate the printing to be around the 1910's, but I believe this is off. Gift inscription dated 1926 on the verso of the front free endpaper. Two leaves tape repaired. Corners bumped, all edges rubbed through. Heel of the spine chipped. Good condition. ********************************************************************************************************* The shipping costs are based on the actual flat rate shipping costs and the average cost to ship a book media mail.
