MILO WINTER ILLUSTRATIONS A JOURNEY TO THE GARDEN GATE R.M. TOWNSEND 1919 1ST. I am pleased to offer for your consideration: A Journey to the Garden Gate, by Ralph M. Townsend, with illustrations by Milo Winter. This medium-sized hard cover book (7 x 9 ½ inches, 128 pages) was published by Houghton Mifflin of Boston & New York, dated 1919 and a First Edition with the same date on title & copyright pages. The book is bound in green cloth with gilt framing and titles and a paste-down color plate by Winter. These Milo Winter illustrations are really quite stunning, with great detail and color. There is a tissue-guarded color frontispiece and seven additional color plates. The endpapers are also decorated by Winter. This book is not particularly common so don t dilly-dally as the Artist is highly collectible. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The hard covers are a bit dust-dulled and with some tarnishing to the gilt titles and frames and a darkened spine from handling. The paste-down plate on the front cover is a bit darkened but not chipped or damaged. Inside, there is a gift inscription on the half-title but that is the only mark I found in the book. The interior pages are clean and bright except those in the proximity of the plates. It seems that these glossy pages are hydroscopic and attract foxing which then shades on to nearby pages. None of the foxing is extreme. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…
