London: George G. Harrap & Company, 1913. Uniform edition of Henry David Thoreau's writings, illustrated with 165 photogravures after nature photographs by Clifton Johnson, who observes of Thoreau: "Each plant and tree had for him a story, though he was more attentive to the wild growths than to the cultivated." This set collects the two books published in the Concord Transcendentalist's lifetime, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849) and Walden (1854), as well as three volumes published after his death: Excursions (1863), The Maine Woods (1864), and Cape Cod (1865). This set was issued in New York by Crowell and in London by Harrap. The New York edition features a different decorative binding by pioneering book designer Margaret Armstrong for each title, while this London edition is uniform, featuring Armstrong's design for the American edition of Walden on all five volumes. A stunning set. Five volumes, measuring 8 x 5.25 inches: xii, 319, [1]; xiv, 423, [1]; xvi, 440; [4], xxii, 492; viii, 303, [1]. Original leaf green cloth decoratively stamped in orange and gilt. Frontispiece and 32 photogravure plates in each volume. Text partially unopened. Light offsetting to endpapers; ink blot to fore-edge of A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers.
