Lot 419
Early 20th Century Children's Pictorial Transport Volumes
An interesting selection of mainly quarto-size volumes in pictorial boards, all from the first half of the 20th Century, the covers generally a bit rubbed on the corners and spines, but mostly quite clean internally, and with very attractive colour illustrations. The titles comprise: A Book of Many Motors, A Book of Engines, and The Big Book of Engines, all published by Blackie; All on Wheels, and The Motor Book (with card covers), both published by Nelson; and a rather worn volume in worn and soiled thin card covers published by Geographia, London and dating from about WWI entitled Motors of All Sorts; Out-Door Sports, loose in boards, with verses by Louise A. Bingham and colour vignette illustrations, produced by the Saalfield Publishing Company, Akron, Ohio, plus a New York published volume with card covers entitled Around the World in an Automobile; and O'Galop's L'Auto K.6.O.20, with French text, written and illustrated by the author, Paris, Librairie Garnier Freres, 1921. Two children's painting books: The Painting Book, published by Betal Games (unused), and Motors to the Front
, published by Father Tuck's 'Patriotic' Series (partially completed, rather neatly) complete the lot. (11)
