Abstract
-
en_US
Here is another copy of this beautiful signed and numbered edition, this one numbered #298 of 525 and signed by both Marsh and Gooden in Volume 1 of the two-volume set. This copy is in even better shape than the earlier copy. This edition's cover material seems to deteriorate over the years as blotches of cream color appear in the gold. As I wrote there, this book is vastly superior to the 1933 edition I had found earlier. A real treasure! The engravings alternate between larger and smaller; they are listed on xv. The best after the title page are MM and The Acorn and the Pumpkin. The engravings in this presentation take off by contrast with those in the 1933 reprint.
