The Six Who Were Left in a Shoe (1923)

Designs by Dugald Stewart Walker

To the left is shown a rare copy of The Six Who Were Left in a Shoe.   This copy shows the original coloured board cover with Walker's illustration.             On the right is the decorated Title Page showing one of Walker's lovely marginal colour illustrations.

The Six Who Were Left in a Shoe - published by The P F Volland Company (Chicago) in 1923 - included Dugald

Walker's illustrations to accompany Padraic Colum's classic childrens' tale.

Walker contributed colour illustrations exclusively to this commission, including the front and rear covers, End

Papers, major colour illustrations and a plethora of marginalia throughout this wonderfully delicate publication.

Our Greeting Cards and Reproduction Prints

For connoisseurs of Walker's work, we have prepared sets of 6 Greeting Cards displaying the major colour images from his designs for The Six Who Were Left in a Shoe and on the left, we show an example of how these Greeting Cards appear.             Code: DW SWWLS CS(6) Price: US$30.00

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 Ivory 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.

Should you wish to order a Reproduction Print of one or more of these images, we have provided some options below.

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

illustration.

The colour illustrations

Malkin raised herself and with her fore-paws upon the table she made her speech.	For there was an argument then as to whether it should be left to the Goat or the Goose or the Cat to fix upon the way they should go. No one liked the Cat after the way she had spoken.   (Presented as a diptych)		There was a house with smoke coming out of it in the corner of the field, with a little stream below, and they all felt that this was the very house for them to stay in.

And then he lifted up his two hands as if he were going to do something awful to them.	"It is," said the Cat, " exactly - really exactly - like the Old Woman's House before the Old Woman left it. I'm a very good judge of houses and I know that it is exactly like.".
