Description: THE SILVER MACE: A STORY OF WILLIAMSBURG written and illustrated by Maud and Miska Petersham An informative and lively look at the history of the early British colonization of America in the area that became the state of Virginia. Eventually Williamsburg became the colony's capital and the silver mace was a symbol of authority. The Petershams did extensive research in site in the restored town of Williamsburg in order to capture the true flavor of the place. The art is a combination of blue duotones and full-color pictures. The Petershams were one of several married couples who collaborated on both text and illustrations - a fascinating creative process. Notes on condition: dust jacket: shows light dirt & wear, with staining to left and right of spine; slight, small chipping top and bottom of spine; front inside flap sheered along right edge and bottom corner, without harm to printed price; moderate discoloration from aging on inside of dj binding: paper-over-board that echoes the design on the dust jacket; dj did its job and protected the inner cover - it's quite clean, no marks; slight rubbing top and bottom of spine, lower edge of boards, and outside corners interior pages: amazingly clean for its age; no rips or marks Please see photos to get a sense of the pleasing condition and lovely illustrations.
