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.’
