_New York Times Saturday Review._—‘The new illustrated
edition of “The Golden Age” is published now because
the ordinary half-tone process applied to Maxfield
Parrish’s charming drawings, when the book was first
illustrated, did not do justice to the artist’s work.
The original drawings, which had been sold to many
purchasers, were hunted up, and they have here been
reproduced by photogravure. No artist ever caught the
spirit of an author more surely than Maxfield Parrish
has caught that of the staid Secretary of the Old Lady
of Threadneedle Street, who in his leisure hours writes
these exquisite memories of childhood.’
_Chicago Evening Post._—‘One of the most exquisite
pieces of illustration that has been done in America
for some time. A more felicitous expression of the
spirit of Mr. Grahame’s classic could not be conceived.
In this case it is difficult to say, if indeed it were
not invidious to say, which were the more charming, the
more lasting in subtle beauty,—the work of brush or
pen. Together they have made a gem for any library.’
_New York Evening Post._—‘The publisher, at no little
expense and labor, has sought out the original
pictures. The result is delightful.’
_Brooklyn Daily Eagle._—‘Decidedly it was a good
thought, this new edition.’
_Boston Evening Transcript._—‘In point of
attractiveness and beauty this new edition stands by
itself.’
