Hardcover. Condition: Good. Compiled from the writings and artworks of Howard Pyle by Merle Johnson. Originally published 1921, this is a later printing with Harper's date code 'H-W' at copyright page; this code can refer to an August 1922 printing, but 1922-era printings of this book appear to have had MCMXXI at the title page, additional plates called for, and bibliographic captions to the illustration plates, which detailed the publications that those artworks originally appeared in. This copy lacks these points of issue, and so is most likely a printing from after Harper began recycling date codes, which would date this copy to August 1947.
