How to Draw and Paint Animal Expressions by Walter J. Wilwerding

This item is a vintage art instruction book titled "How to draw and paint ANIMAL EXPRESSIONS." The cover features a vivid, realistic illustration of a tiger's head, snarling with its mouth open, showcasing its teeth and a pink tongue. The tiger's fur is depicted with characteristic orange, black, and white stripes, and its eyes are a striking yellow-green. The background is a solid olive-green color. The title is prominently displayed in a stylized, hand-drawn font, with "How to draw and paint" in script and "ANIMAL EXPRESSIONS" in large, outlined block letters. The author, Walter J. Wilwerding, is credited in script text on the upper right and also with a signature-style inscription on the lower right of the tiger illustration: "W. J. Wilwerding". The publisher, "PUBLISHED BY WALTER T. FOSTER," is printed along the bottom edge of the cover. A circular white sticker with a black border, marked "Price $1.00" and "Not more than $1.25 in any foreign country," is affixed to the lower-left corner of the tiger illustration. There's also a smaller number "99" in the top left corner, possibly an internal catalog number or series number. The book appears to be a softcover, with visible wear along the edges and corners, suggesting it is a used item. The colors are still vibrant despite its age. This book likely dates from the mid-20th century, a common period for instructional art books published by Walter T. Foster, known for their accessible approach to art education. The craftsmanship is typical for mass-produced instructional books of its era.
