About This Item
Publisher's textured stapled red wrappers. Edition limited to 400 copies finished in time for Christmas distribution in 1953, small quarto, pp. 11. Laid in is a sheet entitled "Important Note about lines on pages 7 and 8" with a verso manuscript note: "This caused the delay! [The 1809 visit is for sale] E. W. J." Colophon note states that the copper etchings are by C M & H; all from originals excepting on title page which is from a redrawing of a wood block by Myron King, circa 1830. Engravings on pages 9 and 10 are complete and in actual size; on pages 7 and 11, reduced and shown in part. Errata note on page [12]. Colophon/limitation statement page [13]. The increasingly fragile wrappers are a little weary with age and have a chip missing from top edge at spine (see photo 2 for close-up). Chipping continues onto the title page but with no loss there yet. Bottom page tips are bumped. Ensconced now in a clear protective display sleeve with white card stock backing board.
