A Little Boy Lost (1920)

Illustrated by Dorothy Lathrop

To the left, we show a copy of A Little Boy Lost,

as illustrated by Dorothy Lathrop - published by

Alfred A Knopf Inc. (New York) in 1920.

This example retains the original decoratively

gold-stamped turquoise cloth cover.

On the right, we show the decorated

Title Page to A Little Boy Lost.

Published in 1920 by Alfred A Knopf Inc. (New York), A Little Boy Lost is a fantasy tale authored by William Hudson

(an English author, naturalist and ornithologist). It tells the tale of a lost boy (Martin) making his way through a fantastic

wilderness adventure in which he has contact with all manner of plants, other living creatures and peoples.

Lathrop's colour and monotone contributions to A Little Boy Lost enliven an already captivating tale to stunning effect.

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-on plates - in hommage to the hand-crafted

approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century.

Hand-finishing is used to replicate the visual appearance of a tipped-on plate and the images are presented on

Ivory card stock (in the case of colour illustrations) or White card stock (in the case of monotone illustrations)

with an accompanying envelope. We have left the cards blank so that you may write your own personal

message.

Should you wish to order a Reproduction Print or an individual Greeting Card from this suite of images, simply

click on the illustration and you will be taken to a new screen where you may select from a variety of sizing

options and organise payment through our Shopping Cart secured with PayPal. Of course, should you require a

customised preparation, we welcome your contact through ThePeople@SpiritoftheAges.com.
