PUPPY TAILS

New York: E.P. Dutton, 1912. Very good plus.. Lovely US edition of these verses on the hardships of a dog's life, much scarcer than the UK edition. 10'' x 8.5''. Original green pictorial boards with red cloth spine. 16 color plates and additional black and white illustrations throughout by Aldin. Unpaginated. Emboss and previous owner's ink dedication to front free endpaper, dated 1915. Expert archival repair to gutters of a few leaves. Occasional small touches of soil to leaves. Boards fresh.
