Description:
Published by Barre Publishers, 1971. 1st edition.. Hardback. Very Good. Illustrated by McCurdy, Michael. Very good condition with no wrapper. The annual fishing party at Amoskeag to which the gay and gorgeous aristocrats flocked was only, through geographical accident, the most famous of this type of gathering. And the man who reported it for us had the worst case of social inferiority in his generation, which gives this tract an odd slant. Brown leather spine, patterned boards. 43 numbered pages. Illustrated with wood engravings. Signed Limited Edition. Wear to spine, most at base. An odd grubby mark to contents. Limited edition page has been signed by Illustrator but not numbered. Contained in original slipcase which is edge worn with a few marks. Surface paper damage to spine part of label.
