Boston:: Roberts Brothers,. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1886 [1888]. Second Edition. Leather. 4to 11. x 10"; 7 full page water rcolor plates plus another 12 pages with hand painted floral illustrations that were often marginal. The last full page painted scene is approximately 3" x 4". This has the full compliment of paintings which, in itself, makes this volume very scare. The planned 100 cop[ies never happened due to production problems. Second edition (after a first edition issued in loose sheets in Colorado Springs the previous year). One of '100' copies signed by the artist, this is number 19; fewer than the stated edition were apparently completed, and fewer still of these had the full complement of plates, as this copy does. Publisher's calf-backed green cloth, stamped in gilt. 11 x 10 inches (28 x 25 cm) ; 31 pp. On heavy watercolor paper; with 12 hand-painted borders, six full-page plates, and a final vignette (most extant copies have just the borders and vignette). Some binding wear and soiling, but a very presentable copy. Name of an early owner on the title in a neat hand. Bookplate of Elizabeth R. Lyman. The collation of this scarce and charming work is highly variable, as noted by the Library of Congress, which states "Illustrated by hand, most copies have 8 watercolors while a few 'favored ones' have 16. Artwork delayed actual publication until 1888." Our copy has the same number of plates and borders as the Deposit Copy, though the plates and borders differ substantially. Most of the few copies at auction have just the borders and tailpiece. The author, Helen Hunt Jackson, was an important voice for Native American rights, particularly for the Mission Indians, who were being dispossessed from their ancestral lands in California. .
