Titleing etched in sepia paper label pasted flat on top board with no information on the exceedingly thin spine. This is copy #87 of 125 total and signed in pencil by the artist. There are 14 pps., each with an etched picture or piece of the narrative protected by tissue. The preface states that "Senator Vest had been retained as attorney by a man whose dog had been wantonly shot by a neighbor. The plaintiff demanded $200. After the speech of Senator Vest,the jury awarded the plaintiff $500 without leaving their seats." The dry-point etchings alternate between pictures and text. The paper is creamy, unmarked, and no previous owner's name. Truly an artistic and singular production in every way.. Author. First Edition. Paper Cov. Boards. Very Good/NoD.j. Illus. by Author.
