Sobre este artículo
The Roycrofters, East Aurora, New York, 1906 Octavo, 107 pages, Number 47 of 106 copies printed on Japan Vellum and signed by Elbert Hubbard. A pristine copy bound in three-quarter morocco over marbled boards, likely done by Louis Herman Kinder. Six paneled spine, gilt, one with title, one with the author's names and four with lovely stylized daisies and foliage, dated 1906 at the bottom. Top edge gilt. Decorative double title page, colophon and head pieces designed by Dard Hunter, executed in burnt orange and black. Portraits of Alice and Elbert on facing pages. The extraordinary condition of the book is due to the presence of the original felt-lined clamshell box and fragile glassine wrapper. The box, although quite worn on all of the edges remains complete with titled paper label. The glassine wrapper is also worn, with several tears and chips but both flaps are still present. It is rare indeed to find a copy of this book with both the box and glassine wrapper still present. A stellar copy of one of Hunter's most handsome designs, scarce in the deluxe Roycroft binding.
