PYECRAFT, W.P. and Edwin Noble. Pads Paws & Claws. Pictures by Edwin Noble.
London: Wells Gardner, Darton & Co., (1914). First edition. 4to., orig. cloth backed pictorial paper boards with a colour picture of leopards on a tree watching a crocodile, and the rear panel has a small depiction of a monkey, (124)pp. The paper is a heavier light brown stock. With 32 plates (two colour plates mounted on the recto of single leaves: the top illustrations measures 13x16cm, the bottom 8x16cm). Very light rubbing to the spine ends, a touch of wear to the corners but this is still a near fine copy with attractive illustrations by Noble.
John Edwin Noble [1876-1961] worked as Edwin Noble. He studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, Lambeth School of Art and the Royal Academy Schools. Subsequently he became instructor at Calderon's School of Animal Painting, and a lecturer on animal drawing and anatomy at the Central and Camberwell Schools of Arts and Crafts. Edwin Noble served as a sergeant in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps during World War I, where he was employed as an official war artist, depicting horses and mules in charcoal and watercolour. He seems to have worked exclusively as an animal artist and his characteristically emphatic outline gives his work a strongly decorative quality. Noble was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists and a Fellow of the Zoological Society.
