T. Benjamin Faucett II

 


A second book written and illustrated by T. Benjamin Faucett, published in New York by  A. L. Burt Company, January 1924. This one sadly displaying its age in racism and other unacceptable ideas (my apologies) but I did want to blog all four for their amazing illustrations.
