About This Item
WASHINGTON: Government Printing Office, 1904 Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Signed & dated 1904 to D. W. Bergstrom compliments of J. H. Davidson (a congressman of the U. S. House of Representatives) on the front free endpaper. D. W. Bergstrom was a renowned industrialist of the early 20th century. He produced fine-quality paper used in book publishing. He was previously partnered with his brother George O. Bergstrom before changing directions and buying his mill in 1904 (the same year he received the Bible). His brother's son George Edward Bergstrom was famous for his contribution to designing the Pentagon! This Jefferson Bible was purchased from a very old gentleman estate in Oregon. The front & rear covers were cleanly detached & missing when it was found even though the binding was perfectly solid & sound (like new). And I had it professionally rebound with the original gilt spine cloth title, and new French marble endpapers. A hardcover that measures about 9 x 5-1/2. 1904 was the 1st year of this publication by an act of the United States Congress. Rare, in very nice condition!.
