Sobre este artículo
New York: Sheldon and Company, 1874. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. The Galaxy Magazine, or The Galaxy (subtitled "an illustrated magazine of entertaining reading") was an American monthly magazine founded by William Conant Church (who had been a war correspondent during the Civil War) and his brother Francis P. Church in 1866 and who became publishers for its short run. The magazine ran from 1866 until when Sheldon and Company gained financial control over the magazine, and it merged with the Atlantic Monthly in 1878. Notable contributors to the magazine early on include Mark Twain, Anthony Trollope, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Walt Whitman and Henry James. Handsomely bound in marbled paper over boards, with brown calf leather over tips and spine, five raised bands thereover, gilt ruling and lettering to spine, still quite sharp and distinct. Oversized octavo format, marbled page edges, though rubbed considerably, with some slight soiling to endpapers, light foxing here and there, rubbing to and scuffing of tips and edges, else quite sturdy and attractive on the shelf, and with some lovely black-and-white illustrations. Missing the usual Index to the contents of the volume up front, indicating several score contributions of poetry and prose, including by General George A. Custer (several contributions from Life on the Plains), Kate Putname Osgood, and others. 724 pp., all in.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
