(New York): (1947-1970).

Price: $18,000.00

An archive of original book illustrations by Ursula Koering, an accomplished New Jersey artist and illustrator of more than 200 children's books. The collection includes dust jacket cover art and in-text illustrations for 10 of her best known children’s books and one picture book for young adults. The archive includes Koering’s color pastel and color wash cover art drawings, including several variant versions of the same illustrations redrawn in pen and ink, and her in-text pen and ink line drawings. Most of the drawings are drawn on publisher’s thick wove-paper sheets or directly on artists boards, and several have accompanying pen and ink color separations drawn on acetate overlays. Most are very good or near fine, with scattered production measurements and notes in the margins. Each set of drawings includes a copy of the printed book for comparison.
