Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. No Dust Jacket. Original.

On the Reverse is Text Advertising Lux Soap = " Don't let your Woollens Shrink! . Besides preventing Blankets, Flannels, and Woollens from shrinking, it is a delightful cleansing agent for all things." etc, etc. Lever, and many other firms, commissioned many now important artists to Advertise their wares for them in this way.

At the time of listing I have many other similar ORIGINAL period adverts available. Images available on Request. ; 24mo 5" - 6" tall. Illustrated by Will Owen (illustratore).…

[sic] Hellier Denselow Esqre | 137 Hurlingham Road | London S.W.' Owen thanks Denselow 'for all the nice things in your letter', adding that he is 'glad you like the sketches. I do myself occasionally - not often.' Denselow would himself appear to have been a commercial artist, with a studio in Gunnersbury Lane in west London.…
