Boccaccio, Decameron, 1931, Harry Steele Savage illustrations

Item Details

Description

"The Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio", translated by John Payne; illustrated by Steele Savage, published by Blue Ribbon Books, 1931. First edition for the illustrations.

Hard boards, original blue cloth, gold decorations and lettering on spine [a little wear]; 5.3/4" x 8.1/4"; 528 pages + 10 woodcut plates including frontispiece with blank versos; very good condition.

Harry Steele Savage (1898-1970) was an American illustrator, primarily of books for children and young adults. The earliest known reference to Savage's life as an artist comes from his World War I draft card, where he lists his occupation as artist for the J.L. Hudson Company in Detroit, Michigan. In addition to book illustration, he drew several posters and covers for science fiction books and magazines that appeared in the 1960s and 1970s. He was also an illustrator of World War II era posters.
