2 page set of vintage Janet and Anne Grahame Johnstone Fairy Tale book pages
Description
A gorgeous page from a rare first edition book (falling apaprt when I came upon it) featuring the work of those champions of children's literature illustration, Janet and Anne Grahame Johnstone. The ladies were twin sisters and highly sought after, illustrating their entire lifetimes. One specialising in animals, the other in costume. Highly collectable, both sisters have since passed on and first edition books featuring their work sell for a small fortune!One page is the title page with Hansel and Gretel and the beginning of the story on the reverse. The other page is a lovely girl in a folk costume, with Aladdin on the reverse. A child has taken the invitation to write their name on the inscription plate but Aladdin remains untouched by the temptation of artistic liberty!
Each page measures 24.5 by 20.5cm and is in perfect condition - use in your mixed media projects or drop into a frame for instant art!
