Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Size of paper sheet: 12 5/8 in. x 8 in., but the side edges have been folded over to form a smaller size; image size: 9 1/4 in. x 5 3/4 in. Possibly a trial form of an etching printed on a fairly thin paper and without any artist's name, titling, date, etc. added to the plate or plate margin. The scene features a young cow being measured by a man in Russian-style cap and boots, while two other figures, one holding a book or recording journal, and another, possibly, a veterinary doctor or assistant, is holding the animal's head. The artist, has inscribed and signed this in pencil, under the image: To Anne and Bill Targ - Oct. 2, 1935 [signed] John Groth. The paper has been cut down from a larger sheet, and the sides folded over, the surface shows some light dusting, age-related tanning to the paper margins. This appears to be a scene witnessed & drawn by Groth in the Soviet Union, during the 1930's, and later used as the source of the etching. We have not been able to trace where it was used as an illustration. From the collection of bookseller/publisher, William ("Bill") Targ, who was one of Groth's closest friends, and an early admirer of his work. Inscribed by Illustrator(s).

No Binding. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. Unpublished in this form: The original painting was never published as part of the 1961 Heinemann edition of War and Peace]., 1961. No Binding. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. Size of matted painting: 35 ¾ in. x 27 ¾ in.; size of metal frame: 40 in. x 32 ¼ in x 1 ¼ in. (thick). A John Groth painting of the Napoleonic Army's retreat from Moscow during the winter of 1812, to be used as an illustration in an edition of Tolstoy's War and Peace. The painting shows the army on foot or horse, retreating through the snow under a gray sky, with a figure of a long dead soldier in the foreground. From the collection of bookseller & publisher, William (Bill) Targ (1907-99), whose printed mailing label is on the back of the mounting board, and identifies the painting: William Targ 101 West 12th Street New York, N. Y. RETREAT FROM MOSCOW by John Groth (oil) Planned for inclusion in the Heinemann ed. of War & Peace rejected for budgetary reasons. Bill Targ was an early and close friend of the artist John Groth, and an admirer of his work. Most of Groth's work intended for book illustrations were drawings or watercolors that were suited to his style of working; he produced few oil paintings for this purpose, and they are considered rare. The framer's label on the back reads: Decor Arts. Inc. 225 west 14th Street New York, N. Y. The frame is black, matte finished metal, with original hanging wire present; gray canvas-type material covered matting board around the painting, white matting board backing with the Targ label, and the framer's label. If purchased in the original, glass-fronted frame, this item requires special packing and shipping. Can also be sold without the glass-fronted frame, but with matting, and original Targ label. Weight: 15 lbs. (framed); postage may be extra on this item.
