About This Item
American Park and Outdoor Art Association, 1900. First Edition. Full leather binding. Very Good. Originally an offprint in stiff card wrappers, this book was rebound for the author in full green morocco by Riviere and Son, with top edge gilt, 5 raised bands, gilt decorative borders, and marbled endpaper. Original covers bound at the rear. While there is nothing affixed to the book that would indicate such, this was purchased with a large collection from the library of Cyrus McCormick. A little wear / chipping to the outer hinges, otherwise clean & bright, with no markings. In stock, ready to ship now from Evanston, IL!
