Paperback. Condition: Fine. First Edition. Quarto, 78 pages "Cecile Cowdery wrote her soldier/husband daily, and during most WWII she illustrated her envelopes and the borders of "V-Mail" letters with an assortment of wonderful pen and ink or colored pencil drawings.They explain as no photo could what was in her mind and heart. As a young wife and mother the subject matter ranged from the extremely romantic and lonely sentiment of lovers separated by great distance for an extended period, to topical news items of the day. She drew her children,scends of her small town and her visions of camp life as reported in her letters from her husband." Cecile Cowdery had a career as a professional illustrator. Her ability is amply demonstrated here, in these color reproductions. Seller Inventory # 2021428
