EDITORS COMMENTS
This first page of Cecil Aldin's "White Rabbit," taken from the Letter Book Series published in 1921, showcases the renowned English illustrator's exquisite handwriting and charming illustration. The page, inked with Aldin's personal touch, bears his home address at the top: The Kennels, Purley, near Reading, Berkshire. The date, "1921," is written in the same elegant script, adding to the historical significance of this unique piece. The illustration itself features a white rabbit, its ears perked up and eyes alert, nestled among snowdrops in a serene woodland setting. The delicate detail and sense of whimsy that Aldin is known for are on full display, transporting us back to the enchanting world of the 1920s. Cecil Aldin, a prolific illustrator and painter, was known for his illustrations of animals and country life. His work, which often appeared in publications such as The Strand Magazine and Punch, captured the hearts of readers and continues to inspire and delight collectors and enthusiasts today. This first page, a rare glimpse into Aldin's personal correspondence, offers a glimpse into the past and a connection to the rich artistic heritage of the early 20th century. A true treasure for any collector of vintage literature, illustration, or Cecil Aldin's work.
