[Eric RAVILOUS (1903-1942) – Rose FYLEMAN (1877-1957)]
A small quarto manuscript and watercolor album of children’s verse. [Undated]. Quarto (9 x 7in; 228 x 178mm). 17pp. of manuscript poetry, in ink, in a single hand, 10 of the poems accompanied by 10 original full-page ink and watercolor by a single unidentified hand,Contemporary plain dark cloth, decorative endpapers composed from Curwen Press paper designed by Eric Ravilious.
An intriguing mystery: most of the poems are by Fyleman, but are all the poems by her? Who wrote the poems out? Who is the artist of the llustrations?
