About This Item
Boston: Copeland and Day, 1895. Octavo, publisher's printed paper wrapper over boards. Only the top edge has been trimmed. First thus. One of 500 copies on Dutch handmade paper out of an edition totaling 550 copies. Bertram G. Goodhue designed the title page and all of the initials found on each page. The date on the wrapper spine is 1896 but Kraus calls for the date to be 1895. Near fine, some light foxing.
