About This Item
New York: Harper and Brothers, 1892. American author/critic William Dean Howells (1837-1920) wrote this absurdist farce for "Harper's Weekly" in 1889; it was then published as part of Harper's "Black and White Series." Not a common book, and often omitted from a Howells bibliography. Fittingly, with a white cloth binding with black titling and decorations. Clean text; 68 pages, with four pages of publisher adverts in the rear; seven black and white illustrations by William Thomas Smedley (1858-1920). Very lightly bumped, and the white binding shows some soiling, but the book is still quite attractive.. First Edition. Decorative Cloth. Near Fine/No Jacket. 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall.
