About This Item
[Massachusetts]: B. Bailey, 1836. First Edition (?). Near fine. Engraving printed in black on white glazed cardstock; unusually thick and heavy. A tinge of dust-soiling to the outer margins, and very minor staining to the verso, but a lovely, near fine example. A wonderfully intricate and visually arresting engraving of the seventh president, containing a likeness of him in glasses at the top, and full the text of Jackson's first Inaugural Address as the main text, signed by Jackson in print at the bottom. The text, in addition to the decorative border and portrait, is entirely engraved rather than typeset. A beautifully executed presidential keepsake. OCLC records two definite holdings, at AAS and Southern Methodist, while a later (1845) memorial edition is also held by AAS. The only other holdings appear to be digital-only.

We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books.
