Fine in a very good dust jacket with rubbing, toning, and losses to the spine and extremities. Rare and desirable signed and with a drawing. H. A. Rey and Margaret Rey, a Jewish German-born couple who became influential figures in twentieth-century childrenâs literature, are best known for creating the Curious George series, whose enduring appeal rests on its blend of gentle humor, visual clarity, and narrative curiosity. The character first appeared in 1939 in the French book Rafi et les 9 singes, developed while the Reys were living in Paris. Following the Nazi invasion in June 1940, they fled the city on bicycles they assembled from spare parts, carrying with them the manuscript and drawings of their mischievous monkey; their escape took them through Spain and Portugal to the United States later that year. Settling in New York, they completed publication arrangements, and Curious George was formally introduced to American readers in 1941, marking the beginning of a series that would become a cornerstone of modern picture-book culture.

See his entry in the Oxford DNB, with that of the presumed recipient, the Manchester bookseller William Ford. 1p, 4to. On recto of first leaf of bifolium, the verso of the second addressed, with two postmarks, to 'Mr. Wm. Ford / 11 Strangates / Lambeth.' In good condition, lightly aged, with spots of paper from mount at corners on address page. Folded for postage. Signed 'Geo: Chalmers'. He begins by thanking him for his 'obliging Note' of the previous day, before stating that he has 'the curious Tract, which was printed, by Raban of Aberdeen'. Concludes: 'If you should have any bag at hand, I should be glad to throw my eyes over your MS. Catalogue' A note in a contemporary hand describes Chalmers as 'Author of the life of Tho.

Original newspaper stock, 36" by 31" inches, modern professional matting and hand-painted frame (50" by 45"). Lovely original artwork by the co-creator of Curious George of his lesser known, but equally lovable character, Pretzel, who made two appearances in children's books: Pretzel, first published in 1944 and Pretzel and the Puppies, published in 1946. Both titles are still currently in print today. This massive three color (orange, black, and blue) crayon drawing was presented to a classroom in Hingham, Massachusetts in 1970 which Rey visited and is signed and dated by Rey in the lower right hand corner "For John from his friend / H. A. Rey / Hingham, 10-22-1970". The artwork was originally mounted on a large piece of cardboard with the photographs of the children from the class pasted to the verso (original mounting included). The piece has now been professionally removed from the cardboard and laid down on archival quality cardstock. The acidic newspaper stock has been professionally deacidified and wonderfully framed by the children's illustration art specialists at Michelson's Gallery of Northampton, Massachusetts. Original artwork by either of the Reys is notoriously uncommon as the majority of their artistic and literary production was left to the de Grummond Children's Literature Collection at the University of Southern Mississippi. Active pursuit of Rey's remaining original artwork by this library and other university special collections around the country has left precious little for collectors. The values for H. A. and Margret Rey's literary titles has excellerated in recent years culminating in a recent sale at auction of a first edition copy in dustjacket of Curious George realizing a sale price of $21,000. This is a lovely large original piece of children's literary history. Very Good overall, newspaper stock has sustained some relatively small holes and loss, housed in a lovely handpainted blue and orange frame with museum non-reflective UV protective glass.

First edition, limited to 36 copies only (so printed on the half-title), and a presentation copy, inscribed on the free front endpaper "With the Author's respectful Compts." This is the very rare specimen of what was to ultimately become the great catalogue of the Spencer Collection, published as the Bibliotheca Spenceriana (1814-15) in four volumes with three volumes of supplements appearing in 1822-23. In the rather charming "Address" which serves as the introduction, Dibdin asks for corrections to be pointed out to him "over a home-cook'd beaf-steak, lightly sprinkled with snow-white horse-radish, and flanked with the best lettuce my garden can bestow." A fine and lovely copy. Armorial bookplate, apparently of the Eliot family (their motto: "Credunt quod vident"), and the leather bookplate of Howard Lehman Goodhart, one of Dr. Rosenbach's good clients and father of Phyllis Goodhart Gordan. ? Windle & Pippin A17"It may not be exaggerating to add that this was the most important prospectus of the many 'fliers' that Dibdin put abroad in his long career." Jackson 28.
