BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: A Biography in Wood Cuts

By

Pub Date: Nov. 19th, 1935
Publisher: Covici, Friede

An original sort of biography -- on one side of the page an expanded caption, telling of one period or episode or achievement in this famous American's eventful life; opposite a wood cut, now interpretative, not symbolic, now illustrative. This artist has handled his medium with singular elasticity -- but, none the less, we can't see a wide popular appeal. A book for gift sale, primarily.
