Rare Signed Boyd Cruise Art Book Limited First Edition Historic New Orleans Coll

Rare Signed copy of "Boyd Cruise". We have the only two copies that I've ever seen signed. We will list the other in a separate listing.

This book featuring the paintings of Cruise is a Limited First Edition of 2000 copies printed by the Historic New Orleans Collection, 1976. Book is signed by the late New Orleans artist on table of contents page. Book is from a smoke free home. Dust jacket shows toning, rubbing, bumping, stuffing, a few spots and scrapes, one small chip and 1/2 inch rip. Brown boards are in good shape with light rubbing and bumping.

Binding is tight, the binding was slightly racked, but it is straighter now, still shows a bit. There is no writing inside of the book except for the painter's signature. Pages are lightly toned in places, lots of gorgeous full color facsimiles of the artist's work. Please see pictures for complete condition, reach out to us with any questions or if you'd like any other pictures. We will also be listing another copy of this book, identical in edition but inscribed to friend and fellow artist/author Berthe Amoss. This book comes from the personal collection of Berthe Amoss the children's book author. She was an avid collector of children's books and we have acquired her very large estate. Over the next two months we will be listing close to 1000 books, many of which are signed, very rare, and highly collectible. We will also be listing many books signed by Mrs. Amoss along with notebooks of her original drawings and personal ephemera from her collection. She was a personal friend of many of the most well-known children's book authors and many of the inscriptions tell the tale of that friendship. She was a lifelong champion of children's literacy and donated generously to libraries in the Southeast.

She was also a world traveler and within her collection there are every sort of book from every region of the earth. We are excited to bring you this collection and feel deeply honored to be able to do so.

Thanks for looking and stay safe out there.
