P.F. Volland 1913 Motto Print A Friend Poem Carrie Jacobs-Bond - KSD Illustrator For Sale

Please read\"Terms of Sale\" Before Bidding -Buy With Confidence - Review My antique frame with the hand painted print of poem \"A Friend\" by
Carrie Jacobs-Bond(C.J.B.) -a prominent American singer-pianist who composed many pieces of popular music from the 1890\'s through the early 1940\'s \"I love you truly\" being a favorite of many.The poem was published in 1913 by the renowned P.F. Volland & Co. of Chicago.Common Misconception: The quote\"A friend is a present you give yourself,\"is widely, yet erroneously, attributed across modern media to the famous author Robert Louis Stevenson, there no evidence that Stevenson ever wrote it. Instead, the earliest records of this exact verse trace back to anonymous origins and a 1917 print column -Jacobs-Bond wrote the text specifically to bridge poetry and song.
The Arts & Crafts floral border was illustrated by(signed \"KSD\") Katherine Sturgess Dodge, a celebrated American ilustrator, (1890-1979).She frequently signed her early commercial art for Volland with her stamped or drawn \"KSD\" initials, integrating them into the art of her intricate, Japanese-influenced floral panels. KDS also illustratedother children\'s books or cards
Interesting side-note, she was also the mother of mid-century American artist Hilary Knight (the illustrator of the famous Eloise book series). A wonderful piece of historical memorabilia...!!!
