Catharine Susan's Calendar. 1909.
Book Description
Small square 8vo.; publisher’s pictorial card covers printed in chromolithography with wrap-around design, silk cord ties with red tassels; pp. [28]; with letterpress title-page and calendar pages throughout in red and grey, in calligraphic font; with 13 colour-printed plates,including a centre-spread of a boating party on the river; an uncommonly good copy with some external soiling, ties intact with tassels, internally crisp and bright with the usual toning but no marking or ownership marks; a very scarce Ainslie title explained by the ephemeral nature of an annual calendar.
First edition. Ainslie’s charming illustrations of her wooden-peg dolls depict them indulging in seasonal activities such as skiing, sea-fishing, going on an airship, picnicking, and attending a shooting party and the ballet.
