Description
Pigs Is Pigs Ellis Parker Butler 1909 Doubleday Page HC Vintage Illustrated Book. Charming early hardback edition of Ellis Parker Butler’s classic humorous story Pigs Is Pigs, illustrated by Will Crawford and published in 1909 by Doubleday, Page & Company for The Review of Reviews Company. This small format volume features the iconic green cloth boards with bold black title and decorative cornucopia design on the front cover, along with several black‑and‑white plates by Crawford. Condition appears Good overall for age (1909). Boards show light general shelf wear, minor corner and edge rubbing, and a few small spots or smudges consistent with handling. Spine remains solid with clear lettering. Interior pages show expected age toning but are generally clean and legible, with illustrations still sharp. No loose or missing pages observed; binding feels sound when opened. (Note any specific flaws here: owner name on front endpaper, small stain to one page, slight lean, etc.) First published as a short story in 1905, Pigs Is Pigs became a popular comic tale that was repeatedly reprinted and later adapted to film, including an animated short. This early illustrated hardcover is a nice addition for collectors of vintage humor, early 20th‑century illustrated books, or those who fondly remember the story. Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the description. I’m happy to answer questions or provide additional pictures on request.
