Description: This attractively-bound volume contains a poem by JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY (1848-1918) illustrated by nineteen drawings by American artist HOWARD CHANDLER CHRISTY (1872-1952). Riley was considered by his contemporaries to be "America's best-loved poet," and was known for his humorous and sentimental poems. Christy was the foremost illustrator of his day, the creator of the "Christy Girl," and famous for his WWI recruitment posters. AN OLD SWEETHEART OF MINE is a sentimental poem about a man thinking back on his old loves; the ending is a touching and sweet surprise. An extremely attractive volume--would make a great Valentine's present from someone in a long partnership. Very good vintage condition. Some bumps and wear on cover but colors are bright. A little bit of foxing. Unmarked except for a 1907 inscription on one of the fly leaves and an original price in pencil.
