About This Item
New York: P.F. Collier & Son, 1903. Hardcover. Folio. Tan cloth spine and pictorial paper over boards. (Ca. 100pp). Color frontispiece, extensive full-page illustrations (including many 2-page spreads, one in color). Very good. Binding gently edgeworn and age toned, though tight and internally near fine. A lovely first edition of this Gibson-esque illustrator's work, accompanied by brief texts, poems, etc. Fascinating glimpse into turn-of-the-century life, much of it of the upper crust New York high society variety.
