About This Item
San Francisco: The History Company, 1882. First Edition Primera edición. Hardcover Tapa dura. 230x150mm. (9x6").. San Francisco, The History Company, (1882)-1886-1890. 39 volúmenes. En 4º (230 x 150). Retrato de Bancroft, numerosas láminas, mapas e ilustraciones, algunas plegadas. Encuadernación uniforme de época en holandesa final piel con puntas, lomera cuajada de dorados, dos tejuelos en marroquén (rojo y verde). Primera edición de esta obra colosal, completa de sus 39 volúmenes encuadernados uniformemente en la época, de la que aún se considera "la fuente documental e histórica más importante para el estudio del oeste americano". A pesar de que el primer volumen lleva fecha de 1886, la obra comenzó a imprimirse en 1882. "Colossal co-operative undertaking; nothing approaching it has ever been attempted in this country... As time passes and prejudice drifts into obscurity, these works become more strongly entrenched each year. For scholars and investigators they will always remain the greatest source of authority" (Howes). Uno de los pocos ejemplares encuadernados en la época, ya que por la extensión de la obra la mayoría de compradores los adquirieron en rústica.
