Roycroft Doctor Prints/Mottoes
I purchased these 12 Roycroft prints/mottoes from someone who had
removed them from a book printed in 1909 by the Roycrofters (Elbert
Hubbard, author) called "The Doctors, A Satire in Four Seizures".
Each of these prints has a motto on the reverse side. I've only
pictured one motto for sake of space, but have noted what the motto is
next to the picture. These would be great as a gift for a doctor, all
framed up. Each pages measures approximately 5 3/4" x 7 3/4"
and where the pages were removed from the book, one side is a bit
ragged which, of course, can be matted out. All in good condition.
Price: $15/each or $135/set + shipping
