Condizione: Very good plus. First edition. First printing of a pivotal book in Rojankovsky's career, his first in English, and the first book published by the Domino Press, founded in Paris by American expats Esther Averill and Lila Stanley. Averill initially met Rojankovsky for a different design project, but when that fell through Rojankovsky suggested a children's book collaboration. Inspired in part by Rojankovsky's childhood love of James Fenimoore Cooper books, DANIEL BOONE was meant to be a lavish vision of the American West - but for that reason, American publishers considered it too expensive to print. Averill's response was to found the Domino Press in order to make the book a reality. Published in both French and English, this copy is the English issue. The book's success is credited in part with revitalizing the French children's book market, and played a role in Rojankovsky landing work in the famous Père Castor series. 14.5'' x 11.5''. Original quarter blue cloth, color pictorial paper boards. Illustrated by Rojankovsky with beautiful color lithographs throughout. [16] pages. A few shallow abrasions to boards, with light soiling primarily at margins. Interior clean with just a bit of toning to edges.
