Sobre este artículo
New Rochelle, NY: The Elston Press, 1903. First Edition Thus, Liimted. Hardcover. Very Good. 12mo, 49 pages, full vellum, yapp edges, rubbed.
Helen Marguerite O'Kane designed these Morrisian woodcut decorations and designs. She has deftly hand-colored these woodcuts. O'Kane and her husband, Clarke Conwell, started the press. Bi-color printing and hand-colored designs. The size of this edition, 120 copies, ties it for the smallest edition of Elston Press books, of which this is the 19th of only 20. NOTE: throughout this work, including the headlines, there is always an "s" at the end of Psyches. Ransom, p.261, and American Book Prices Current list it without the final "s". Also, this is the deluxe binding: most copies appear in boards.

Sobre Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
