Schaldach, William – COVERTS AND CASTS – 1943 1st edition – 140p – Barnes & Co., NY – Schaldach was an extremely talented artist who could also write. His fishing and hunting articles and beautiful paintings were a welcome respite from the harsh realities of the war years. As with all Schaldach’s books this one is replete with vignettes, 8 black and white plates and 4 full color plates from original paintings. As pictured – this copy contains a very personal two page letter from the author at age 75 obviously written to a dear friend and signed Bill Schaldach. – book is fine in worn but colorful dust jacket - $65.00
