A propos de cet article

Hardcover. Bound in full leather. When it was published, this was an elaborate gold-decorated gift edition, but the front cover is only hanging on by a thread now, so it will need a binder's attention. Raised cords and gold lettering on the spine - still very attractive on the shelf. Page edges gilt. Chromolithographed title page and frontispiece illustration, followed by printed title page dated 1852. 669 pages. Text block clean and tight, with sharp square corners. No marks or stains. A nice gift inscription on a blank page at the front, "Miss S.S. Phelps from her friend Mr. J.J. Phelps. Jan 1st, 1853." The inscription is written by John Jay Phelps (1810-1869), who was founder of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad -- among other exploits. The book was a gift from him to (most likely) a niece. The Phelps/Stokes family was a prominent and confusing one in NY society at this time. A small rubberstamped name on the inside front cover from the next generation, "Harold Phelps Stokes" (1887-1970) - was a writer for the NY Times - shows that the book stayed in the family for a long time. The Stokes home in NYC is still standing, and is now part of the Morgan Library, having been sold to JP Morgan in 1904. Please email with questions or to request photos. If you see a photo beside this listing, please be aware that its an ABE Stock Photo (whatever that is) and not a photo of this book.…
