About This Item

New York: Printed for the Convention, 1893. One of 525 copies of this masterpiece designed by Daniel Berkeley Updike. Folio (11 x 14 1/2 inches). 556 pp. pp. with printing in red and black, elaborate floriated borders based on designs by Bertram Grovesnor. Publisher's full vellum with gilt lettering and decoration, brass clasps, deckle edges. At one point a pious soul laid a carnation in the book to be flattened; offsetting to the leaves touching. A very appealing copy. Custom acrylic slipcase. The issue of this title with floriated borders indicates it was a subscriber's copy. Copies for clerical distribution had red rules in place of the borders.
