[Brandreth Lake, New York], [`904]. Two sepia prints, each measuring about 4.75" x 3.75", mounted to cardstock with about 1" border. Prints in very good condition, with mild fading to edges (though this may be the quality of the exposure). One mount has a corner chip, else in excellent condition. The two images depict three figures in a fishing canoe, who are helpfully named in contemporary pencil on the verso of both images. The verso text reads: "Taken by Frederick Potter, May, 1904, at Brandreth Lake. Wm. H. Taft, in the stern of the boat, H. C. Hollister in the bow. Curt Hull, Guide." At the time, Taft was serving as Theodore Roosevelt's Secretary of War. Howard C. Hollister was an Ohio jurist, and when Taft became President, he appointed Hollister to a newly created position as District Court Judge for Southern Ohio. For those who celebrate the whimsy of presidential politics and history, it's worth noting that the images do indeed depict the 27th president's ability to displace water.

Chicago: Ziff-Davis, 1949. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Oblong quarto, 42pp., illustrated.

A wonderful example, SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Taylor on the front free endpaper: "For the Old Master, a small return for Jeeves. Deems Taylor." Considering the Jeeves reference, the "Old Master" could be none other than P. G. Wodehouse, who was--and still is--called "Master" or sometimes "The Old Master" by his ardent fans. Wodehouse had a short, but influential career in the 1910s on Broadway as a lyricist, and maintained a love of music and musical comedy throughout his life; a passion that no doubt brought him in contact with people like Deems Taylor. Despite is worn state, a copy with a pleasing association.

New York: Duell, Sloan, & Pierce, 1946. Later printing. Hardcover. Good/good. Square octavo, 77pp., illustrated by Elizabeth Taylor. No printing statement, and jacket price of $2.00 suggests a later printing. A good copy only, with notable dampastaining to the boards and the dust jacket, though the contents are clean and sound. This copy SIGNED boldly by Taylor on the front free endpaper in a much later hand, slightly shaky, and typical of her later autographs: "Best Wishes and love, Elizabeth Taylor." The inscription does not match any autopen examples we've seen, and we presume it to be genuine. All signatures offered by us are guaranteed for life. "Nibbles" was the teenage Taylor's pet chipmunk.
