Sobre este artículo
New York & London: Carleton Publisher & S. Low, Son & Co., 1865. Charles Farrar Browne (1834-1867) became one of the most popular comic writers in America and England under his pseudonym of Artemus Ward.; supposedly he was Abraham Lincoln's favorite author. Here is a Very Good (Plus) copy of the First American Edition. Green embossed cloth covers with gilt lettering on the spine. Twelve illustrations by Mullen. Clean text; 231 pages, plus eight pages of publisher adverts in the rear. This copy is notable for the excellent quality of the textblock - very fresh, supple, and bright. The covers show typical, but minimal wear; bumped, light soil; lettering on spine still bright. There are two previous-owner signatures: (1) from 1942, on the front paste-down; and another, undated but contemporary, on the third free endpaper. A solid copy of an American classic. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. First American Edition.. Hard Cover. Very Good Plus/No Jacket. Illus. by Mullen.
