Description

Unique twice-signed book with a portrait of a pig

Desirable signed book: Jamie Wyeth. First edition. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1980. Softcover, 10.75 x 8.5, 143 pages. Signed and inscribed on the title page in black felt tip, "For Jamie, xxx ooo, Jamie Wyeth," with the addition of a large sketch of a pig, outlined in black felt tip with artistically smudged highlights in magenta; also signed and inscribed on the half-title page in black felt tip, "Signed for James and Ariel—the 2nd owners of this book!!? Best wishes, Jamie Wyeth." In very good to fine condition, with reinforcement tape to the book's inner hinges. A particularly nice piece of original artwork, as pigs are a recurring subject in Wyeth's work—this volume has a chapter called 'Pigs and Things,' which features nine plates reproducing his paintings of pigs.
