THE HANGING OF THE CRANE
by Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
- Used
- Hardcover
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1907. Very good (fine interior with clean and bright illustrations including the tissue over each illustration with an excerpt from the poem) with worn and lightly soiled covers (front cover, though worn, has intact illustration). One page has a half-inch closed tear at the bottom. No dust jacket. Giver's inscription (on the occasion of the recipients' golden wedding anniversary--1908--quite appropriate to the poem which celebrates marriage and family). It is significant that the inscription is to Mr. and Mrs. Harris Newmark. Harris Newmark was a significant figure in the young Jewish community of Los Angeles and in the expansion of the L.A. business community, especially in the field of real estate. Special printing on the centennial of Longfellow's birth. The illustrations feature backgrounds from Longfellow's own home where he wrote the poem. The "crane" refers to the metal arm from which pots were hung over the fire in the chimney; "the hanging of the crane" thus has a meaning similar to "house-warming" but more closely associated with newlyweds.. Hard Cover. Illus. by Arthur I. Keller.

Description:
Boston, MA: James R. Osgood and Company, 1875. Hardcover. VG-. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, beveled green cloth boards with gilt on front and spine. Exterior shows only minor scuffing along with edge and corner bumps/wear. This book has an attractive exterior which would normally grade as VG+ to near fine but it does have some interior issues. Forest green end pages in front and rear are free of any handwriting or bookplates, no library markings. There is a brief gift inscription on the fourth front end page, and this is the only handwriting found. Pages are toned due to age and light foxing is present throughout. Pages are of heavy bond paper, thick like an index card. The reason for the low condition grade is because the interior binding is brittle and a bit noisy when opened. Because of this webbing is showing in several areas and there's one quadrant of pages that are only being held on by the binding string. This issue starts at…
