Author: BARBOUR, Ralph Henry
Title: The Secret Play
Description: New York, D. Appleton and Company, 1915. Hardcover. Illustrations by Norman Rockwell. Small 8vo. Brown cloth with gilt lettering and color plate on front board. 335pp. Color frontispiece, 3 full-page color plates (as called for). Very good. Faint edgewear; spine title heavily rubbed, though front board gilt bold and bright; 1915 ownership signature on front pastedown. A tight and quite nice first edition, internally near fine, of this juvenile football tale. Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) was a lad of 19 when he provided the illustrations for this, which we believe to be only the second book he illustrated (first being Carl H. Claudy's "Tell Me Why Stories" in 1913). The plates are pristine, bright, flawless. .
