Hinshaw 23G. Lowman Printer at the Pass 38 "Regarded by many as the greatest of all the Lea-Hertzog collaborations." – Lowman. This copy inscribed to Tom Prideaux "this small incentive to become, also, a Traveler to the Pass of the North. T. L. 5 March 1947." Prideaux was a senior editor of Life Magazine who worked with Lea when he was a war artist for Life. Lowman recounts that Hertzog wrote to his friend Dr. Pat Nixon: "My New York friend (55 years dealer in Americana) says we will live to see it sell for $100 – probably kidding me." – Lowman, Printer at the Pass p. 21.Reviews
