Sobre este artículo
[Philadelphia]: [American Dredging Company], 1954. A lovely calligraphic memorial resolution calligraphed by by W. G. Strickland of Philadelphia. Octavo (6 3/4 x 9 1/2 inches). [6] leaves of vellum of which four bear the memorial (versos only). Capitals done in gilt and blue. Opening leaf elaborately decorated. Final leaf signed by each Member of the Board. Original black pebbled morocco, gilt turn-ins, white moire silk doublures, matching slipcase. An excellent example of this form of the Golden Watch. The American Dredging Company of Philadelphia began operations in 1867 and soon became the largest dredging company in the country. E. Homan Stroud joined the company in 1904 and rose through the ranks to become its president in 1944. He died on June 24, 1954 and this memorial was dated the day after. Apparently there were two copies as it states near the rear that a copy shall be given to his widow.
