About This Item
New York: Dodd, Mead and Co, 1094. Hardcover. Illustrations by Hampton Institute Camera Club. Decorations by Margaret Armstrong. 8vo. Olive green cloth with gilt lettering and green, red and ivory decorative stamping. 144pp. Top edge gilt. Frontispiece photograph, numerous photographs, extensive pale green decorative text borders. Very good. Binding a tad edgeworn and corners faintly bumped, else overall tight and nice -- and internally fine. A handsome, tight second printing of this "negro dialect" verse collection by the famed African-American poet and writer (1872-1906). The mostly-white Hampton Institute Camera Club provided the many photographs for this and five other titles up to 1906 -- largely African-Americans in daily plantation life scenes. Legendary book designer Armstrong's touches abound.
