About This Item
Philadelphia: David McKay Company, 1891. First edition. First edition. Original publisher's green smooth cloth with gilt lettering on cover and spine, beveled boards. Inserted frontispiece on glossy paper. Presented by Traubel to Will Innes, noted collector and Walt Whitman enthusiast, as recorded by his granddaughter, Gertrude Traubel, who helped advance the reputation of Traubel, and avidly promoted Walt Whitman. On the front free fly: "Compliments H. Traubel," and underneath that: "this was Will Innes' copy which he gave to me on Sunday December 17- 1967- Gertrude Traubel." Will Innes was a friend of the Traubel family, a noted Whitman collector, and gave a significant portion of his library to his granddaughter, Gertrude, in 1967, who became a great advocate and enthusiast of Whitman. A fine copy.
