selected by Sara Teasdale with illustrations contributed by Dugald Walker - as

published by The MacMillan Company (New York) in 1922.

Rainbow Gold is an anthology of poems selected by Sara Teasdale and illustrated an beautiful fashion by Dugald Walker.

Teasdale outlines her motivation for the anthology in her Prefatory Note:

 

I have made a small collection of poems that would have pleased the child I used to be

and the boy who was my playmate. Above all things I have striven to keep the book

small, for the big books of poetry on our shelves are always left to themselves. It was

the little books that became our intimate companions.

 

The images contributed by Walker to Rainbow Gold are lovely.

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-on plates - in hommage to the hand-crafted

approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century. Each card is

hand-finished and the images are presented on White card stock with an accompanying envelope. The rear of each

card carries information about Dugald Walker, this wonderful suite and the profiled illustration - we have left the

interior of the cards blank so that you may write your own personal message.

Each of these large format prints is also accompanied by information about Dugald Walker, this suite and the profiled

illustration.
