About This Item
First Edition. Modern 3/4 leather binding, spine label, marbled boards. This copy nicely inscribed and signed by 'S. E. Thoreau', [Sophia Elizabeth], at front endpaper. Sophia's autograph is uncommonly rare. She did much of the editing of her brother's posthumous works and was a close companion and confidante of Henry's whilst he was alive. She belonged to Concords anti-slavery society, designed the frontis illustration to Walden, ran the family business and protected Henry's legacy after his death. This copy nicely rebound, staining to lower quarter of early and later pages, some nicking to front endpaper.
