§ A lovely illustration by “Francoise" from an unidentified book showing a boy leaning to kiss a girl's head beneath arching trees. Francoise was the pseudonym of the French children’s book author and illustrator, Francoise Seignobosc (1897-1961). Seignobosc split her time between France and the United States, illustrating both coloring books and story books, several for Charles Scribner’s Sons. Her best known work today is perhaps the cloth book La Plus Vieille Histoire du Monde (1931). Item #124108
