This ...;auction is for the original painted cover illustration. There is no typeface attached.The images of the published book are for reference only and not included in the auction.
CONDITION: Very Good. Gouache on thick illustration board. The top surface layer of the illustration board was pulled from the bottom and later reattached at the corners (I suspect it was removed for printing reasons).There is a wrinkle in the art starting at the top of the horse's neck and continuing up to the edge of the board. In addition there is some discoloring on the horses rear leg. Both these contitions were taken into account for pricing. This is large art by Little Golden Book standards. Many Little Golden Books had art created at "publication size" (about 1/4 this size).Overall approximately: 12" x 15.25"Image: 10.25" x 13"HIGHEST RECOMMENDATIONLGB covers are few and far betweenThanks for Looking & Good LuckS&H: Bidders and Buy-It-Now Please note: I will combine shipping costs whenever possible and will refund overpayments through Paypal.Please see all my current auctions.
