Sobre este artículo
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1890. First Edition . Cloth. Near Fine. 7¼x4¾. Near Fine. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1890. First Edition. [iv], 193, [1] + [2] ad pp. Illustrated with a frontispiece from an engraving. 7¼x4¾, red cloth, spine lettered in gilt. First Edition, "B" State Binding. In the publisher's "B" state binding, but in the Binder's Variant "A" issue, with the following beginning sequence: Title page (i), Copyright page (ii), Dedication (iii), and a blank page (iv) just before p. 1. A near fine copy with an inked passage from Hearn that is signed "Hearn" at the end, and does closely resemble his hand, but was written in fact by someone else, all on the rear free endpaper. An earlier bookseller has penciled "signed Hearn letter on back"; it is not that, however. See scan of that. BAL 7921. Top page edge dusty, a bare touch of lightening to spine, else near fine. See scans. Bookplate and signature of previous owner Ethelwyn Doolittle adds a bit of association status to this unusual configuration; Miss Doolittle, who posthumously donated her entire library to Hartwick College in 1955, was a good friend of John Burroughs, one of America's greatest and most prolific naturalist authors. Youma, "The story of a West Indian Slave", reflected his sympathy with a paternalistic slave-owning regime Hearn was a unique individual - born in the Greek Ionian Islands to an Irish officer-surgeon father and a Greek mother - who took a wildly meandering course through life, ending his days in 1904 in Tokyo as a Japanese citizen, Yakumo Koizumi. Very handsome example. See scans. - L18n
