Description: A book plate from a 1949 reprint of a book originally published in 1930, with illustrations by James Dowd (1884-1956). A lovely image of a young child helping their father (or grandfather) tidy the garden of Autumn leaves as more blow from a tree. This has been trimmed down to produce the printed plate in a fresh new A4 size black mount, sealed at the back, and cellophaned to protect it in shipping. Image within mount aperture 22 x 14.5 cm. Mount 29.7 x 21 cm. This will be robustly flatpacked. Dowd was born in Sheffield and attended the art school in his home town before starting work aged 15 at the Sheffield Telegraph, building a highly respected name as an illustrator for publications such as Punch magazine, and he was a portrait artist, exhibiting on several occasions at the Royal Academy. Dowd died in Epsom, Surrey, in 1956. Our ref:S17256 Multiple Buy Offer Currently On!
