About This Item
New York:: Harper & Brothers,, 1914.. SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Very good in blue cloth with gold letter and decorative devices on the spine and front panel, minor wear along the spine.. First edition. Janvier's last book, published shortly after his death in 1913, a humorous and affectionate look at a piece of the New York City he so loved. In the preface, Ripley Hitchcock describes the 'Casa Napoleon' as a 'very definite haven for wanderedrs of Latin origin which for several years opened hospitable doors upon a side-street near lower Fifth Avenue. Illustrated with a frontispiece and 7 black and white plates. Tipped into the front of the book is a warmly affectionate 2 page holograph letter addressed to Don Jose and dated December 28, 1911. The final paragraph reads 'For you too are'still beloved' and most warmly, dear Don Jose, and missed and longed for - and with all my heart I wish that we could begin again with another meeting at the Hungaria, and go on all over again with the dinners and the drinks and the talks that we happily had together in those ancient happy times.'
