Add to basket"Posson Jone'" and Père Raphaël, with a New Word Setting Forth How and Why the Two Tales Are One, by George W. Cable. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1909. First edition of this combined text ? "Père Raphaël" was privately printed from magazine plates in 1901, and "Posson Jone'" was earlier collected in Old Creole Days (1879); this Scribner volume marks their first joint publication. Illustrated in color throughout by Stanley M. Arthurs, including a color title-page vignette. The elaborately gilt-decorated cloth binding, in deep teal with an Art Nouveau design of urns, candelabra, and floral motifs, was designed by Margaret Armstrong, a notable American binding designer of the period, with her monogram stamped on the binding. Top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed. This copy carries a pasted-in "Superintendent's Token," a Sunday School anniversary award from the Bethany Temple Sunday School in Philadelphia, dated March 11, 1915. Condition is Very Good: gilt remains bright and largely unworn, boards are square, and the interior is clean throughout with vivid, well-preserved color plates; minor fraying is present at the spine head and tail, with light rubbing to one board corner. A handsome copy of an Armstrong-designed Cable binding, well suited to collectors of Louisiana literature, Armstrong bindings, or Arthurs illustration.
