Sobre este artículo
Cincinnati, OH: Robert Clarke Co., 1906. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Octavo; xiii, 237 pages, pictorial dark green cloth, edgeworn, puncture in the dedication leaf margin, t.e.g. Signed on the front pastedown, "William Seymour Edwards / from an old friend - / His book".
This is a record of the author's 1902 honeymoon trip through Denmark, Sweden and Russia, to Moscow, in a series of letters to his father. "Entering Russia, I found myself amidst social and political conditions, mediaeval and malevolent. The wanton luxury of the enormously rich, the pinching poverty of the very poor. ... In the brief interval which has since elapsed this smoldering discontent has become the blazing conflagration of Revolution." - Foreword. Illustrated with dozens of photographs taken with a Kodak.

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.
