About This Item

New York: [Doubleday, Doran & Co.], The Junior Literary Guild Corporation, 1939. Folio. [56 pp (unpaginated)]. Colour-illust. title, numerous colour and black & white illusts. & plates throughout, colour-illust. endpapers. Green-coloured cloth, green lettering & illustration on front cover (very slight soiling to fore-edge), w/ d.j. cover art by D’Aulaires (minor chipping head & foot of spine, couple closed tears, creasing, scuffing front cover, price-clipped), still VG/G copy. First edition, stated, Junior Literary Guild issue of this beautifully illustrated tale of Abraham Lincoln, printed with the pioneering stone lithography techniques of the D’Aulaires. Awarded the 1940 Caldecott Award, this famed book was noted for its striking illustrations which evoked a hand-drawn look. However, the printer decided to quit storing the stones and the D’Aulaires were asked to redraw the illustrations, so those copies printed after 1957 were sadly far inferior to the original printings. See: Newbery & Caldecott Awards: A guide to the Medal and Honor Books, p. 17.
