Item description from seller

Quarto. Half leather and papercovered boards gilt ("John Henry Boner"). Bookplate of Dr. Marcus Benjamin, the spine mostly perished, and the binding worn, but internally near fine. Benjamin's own collection of material related to John Henry Boner (1845-1903) a North Carolina Moravian poet and editor of "The Literary Digest". Benjamin was the Director of the U.S. National Museum, and aside from preparing the memorial work in an edition of 100 copies, also arranged to have Boner's body moved from Washington, D.C. to his beloved home in Salem, North Carolina. According to Wikipedia "His burial in an unmarked grave in Washington, DC, was a matter of concern to his friends and admirers, who formed the Boner Memorial Association to raise funds to return the poet's body to North Carolina. In December, 1904, Boner was re-interred in the Moravian Cemetery in Salem." This volume contains many clippings about the removal of his body to North Carolina, several mounted original photographs of Boner's tombstone, and of the cemetery to which it was removed, and of the surrounding area, an early original albumen photograph of Boner (which was used as the frontispiece in the pamphlet), and a small original calligraphic art (possibly done by Boner himself). The collection also includes mounted Autographed and Typed Letters Signed by various recipients acknowledging the printed pamphlet tribute that had been prepared by Benjamin to honor the late Boner. Letters appear (some in the third person) from Theodore DeVinne, Franklin Henry Giddings, Richard W. Gilder, Rossiter Johnson, John Uri Lloyd, George P. Pell, Clinton Scollard, as well as many other politicians, editors, newspapermen, and librarians, with perhaps half of them from North Carolina. A unique volume.
