Book of nature by Johnny Jones. Spelling by his mother.
San Francisco & New York: Paul Elder and Company, [1903].
6" x 7.75" pp. [32], inc. multiple illustrations and handwritten aesthetic. Original cloth wrappers in a red and black patchwork quilt motif with title applied to cover. First edition of an early publication from the 238 Post Street iteration of Paul Elder and Company in San Francisco; this publication was written in a child-like manner by "Johnny Jones," pseudonym for Clara Walton. Walton was a regular at the Post Street location, which was obliterated in the fires as a result of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Inscribed on the title page to "Geraldine" from "Uncle Paquay" in 1907. Very good.
