1 Burton, Virginia Lee
Maybelle the Cable Car (signed)
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1952 First Edition 
Square octavo. Green decorated cloth. [48]pp with Virginia Lee Burton's marvelous color illustrations throughout. Maybelle's story is a celebration of the San Francisco cable cars, which Burton knew from early childhood and later rode to art school. Based on a true occurrence, when the city said the cable cars were old-fashioned and must be replaced by modern buses, the people of San Francisco resoundingly said "No!" Signed to the title page by Virginia Lee Burton, a Caldecott Award-winning illustrator whose signature is quite uncommon. Upper corners bumped, small scuff to upper corner of ffep. Very Good in dustjacket with several closed tears. 
Price: 400.00 USD
