PUFFIN PICTURE BOOKS . . . Drawn direct to the plate by the Artist and Lithographed in England by The Curwen Press, London, E.13, for the Publishers, Penguin Books Limited, West Drayton, Middlesex, and 245 Fifth Avenue, New York, U.S.A.
In later impressions (1942, '43, '44, '45, rev. edn. 1949) wording of Imprint varies; Penguin state date of printing was probably late 1941; Date of publication Feb. 1942; note that Courtney 'drew direct to the plate' so this is an autolithograph.
