Stories for Pictures (1912)

Designs by Dugald Stewart Walker

To the left was show a rare copy of Stories for Pictures, as published by Duffield and Company (New York) in 1912.   This examples retains the original decoratively gilt, white- and green-stamped cream cloth cover.                 On the right is the Title Page designed by Walker.

Stories for Pictures introduced the World to the illustrated books of Dugald Walker. The precis on the rare Dust Jacket

for this title describes Walker's work with the words of Mackay:

Poems in color by Dugald Stewart Walker, a new artist of remarkable talent, suggesting

Rackham and Dulac but entirely original in spirit and execution. A sympathetic

accompaniment of stories is supplied by the author of "Houses of Glass," "Half Loaves"

and "The Cobweb Cloak," and the combination is a volume of very rare charm and

distinction - a literary and artistic "discovery" that is sure to be one of the acknowledged

successes of the 1912 holiday season.
