Description: Lawson, Robert. They Were Strong and Good (Caldecott Medal). New York: Viking, 1940. First Edition. 4to. Near Fine / Very Good. Pictorially stamped buff cloth, small dent to rear board, no writing and no foxing; in a pictorial dust jacket with a slightly sunned spine, professional restoration to rear panel and spine ends, price clipped, no award seal. A beautiful copy of Lawson's very scarce Caldecott Medal winning book about his ancestors. The text and pictures depict black slaves in a way that is completely unacceptable by today's standards; however his mastery as an artist should not be over-looked. The text, while very simple, still gives the reader a glimpse into American History as experienced by Lawson's family.
