The Gibson Books - Vol. 1 and Vol. 2

"Holy Awesome Antiquarian, Batman!"

Here at 13909 Antiques, we don't toss around the description "Rare" lightly, and only in certain situations.

Well, we have one, a rather Rare item.

'The Gibson Books', both Volume 1 and Volume 2, and in Very Good-to-Excellent condition.



These are a collection of the published works of the profound, and prolific graphic artist, Charles Dana Gibson, that, along with his brilliant talent, and satire, is equally known for the creation of 'The Gibson Girls'

These were published in 1907, and our two Volumes are in Very Good-to-Execellent condition (one corner of one volume as a bit of wear).






Gibson's works are brilliant, and his satire is pinpoint hysterically funny - you just don't see something like this everyday ...

And, in event you snort that we are overhyping this, I suggest you do your own research ... Amazon has a Volume and not in good condition ... The Auction House Skinner has a Volume, that is falling apart ... Someone on eBay has a Volume, again, in poor condition ...

If you want to own a true, historic classic, come by 13909 Antiques and score these works - your life will be richer for it
