About This Item

Trenton, NJ: Albert Brandt, 1902. 1st Edition. Cloth. Very Fine/Near Fine/Fine. 12mo., 198pp.plus 2pp. ads. Stunning First Edition of Lincoln's first published book and only book of poetry. Very likely in a First State Dust-jacket with no advertisements on flaps. The authoritative Lincoln bibliography, (The Prolific Pencil, Stephen Sullwold, William S. Sullwold, 1980, p. 203), states that the flaps call for ads for other titles published by Brandt. As the flaps are blank, it can be surmised that this has primacy. Bound in publisher's original yellow/brown cloth with titles stamped in gilt on spine and front board. Illustrated in brown on front board signed by the artist, Mira Burr Edson. Interior illustrations by Edward W. Kemble including tissue-guarded frontispiece. Square, tight and clean throughout with just a hint of bumping to the spine ends but barely. Largely uncut pages. Completely unfaded cloth and gilt and truly remarkably well-preserved. As is the equally attractive unclipped, though unpriced, dust-jacket, ($1.50 on spine panel), designed by Mira Burr Edson to mirror the front board. A touch of wear and a small closed tear on the rear panel but fresh and bright with no creases or chipping and quite scarce to find a turn-of-the-century dust-jacket in such condition. A simply gorgeous collectable copy and quite uncommon as such.
