ORIGINAL ART: GIANT GOLDEN BOOK OF CAT STORIES
- Used
ROJANKOVSKY, FEODOR. ROJANKOVSKY,FEODOR. ORIGINAL ART: GIANT GOLDEN BOOK OF CAT STORIES. Offered here are 2 fine original watercolors that appear on pp. 65 and 27 of The Giant Book Of Cat Stories published by Golden Books in 1953. The 2 images are attractively mounted, matted and framed to 22 inches wide x 17" high. They could be separated and framed individually. The first image is a great nighttime scene with a large black cat with white paws in the foreground. An owl is flying above him and there is a house and much greenery in the background. It measures 11" high x 8", with 2 corners slightly trimmed and an unpainted area where text would be. The second image (on p. 27) is of a cat sticking its head out of a large wicker basket that is sitting outside in the grass at night with stars in the sky. The image measures 5 1/2" high x 4 1/2". Rojankovsky was a Russian emigre artist who became an important illustrator of children's books. He illustrated the Domino Press' landmark Daniel Boone, and won the Caldecott Award in 1956 for Frog Went A'Courtin. Original art by Rojan rarely appears on the market and these are great images.

Description:
London: Faber and Faber, 1952. Some creasing and small tears to the edges of price-clipped dustwrapper, the top inch or so of which is torn away at the top end of the spine. Minor bumping to spine ends and corners of orange boards, a small faded bit at the top end of the spine where the dustwrapper has been torn away, but otherwise a good clean tight copy of this hard-cover book. Doesn't seem to be a common book, I see very few copies anywhere online. The book contains eighteen cat stories (and a poem) by different authors, namely: "A Little White Cat" by Dorothy Baker, "A Fine Place for the Cat" by Margaret Bonhan, "Smith" by Ann Chadwick, "When in Doubt - Wash!" by Paul Gallico, "The Blue Flag" by Kay Hill, "God and the Little Cat" by Selwyn Jepson, "The Fat of the Cat" by Gottfried Keller, "Broomsticks" by Walter de la Mare, "New Conquest of the Matterhorn" by T S Blakeney, "Johnnie Poothers"…
