Tudor, Tasha. Original art for "Sing A Song of Sixpence" from MOTHER GOOSE. n.p., n.p., 1944.
Price: US$5000.00 + shipping
Condition: Near Fine
Description: Signed watercolor used in Tudor's Caldecott Honor book MOTHER GOOSE, printed by Oxford University Press in 1944. Appearing on page 63 of the book, it accompanies "Sing A Song Of Sixpence" and depicts the King, Queen, three other adults and two little children seated at a feast with the birds just coming out of the pie. Executed in bright, colors, the sharp detail of the original is sorely lacking in the book reproduction. A wonderful piece from one of Tudor's early books. 4'' x 5.75'' image on 7'' x 6.5'' board. Single artist board, professionally matted. Light pencil notations in margin. Some soil around margins, not affecting image, not visible when matted.
