Vintage 1950 ‘Baby Animals on the Farm and How to Draw Them’ by Vere Temple

A wonderfully charming vintage copy of Baby Animals on the Farm and How to Draw Them by Vere Temple, first published in 1941, with this lovely fifth impression dating to 1950.

Part nature book, part drawing guide, it is filled with the most beautiful black and white studies of calves, piglets, lambs, kids, kittens, rabbits, chicks, foals, ducklings and more. The illustrations are full of character, with that wonderfully loose, expressive quality that makes old books so special.

The original illustrated dust jacket is especially lovely, complete with three little rabbits to the front, and has just the right amount of gentle age and wear. A gorgeous old book for an artist, animal lover or simply to sit amongst a collection of favourite vintage books.
