About This Item
London: Effingham Wilson, 1830. First edition. First edition. Superbly bound c. 1900 by Bradsteet's of New York (signed with an ink pallet on front endleaf) in full brown morocco with elaborate bold gilt blocked floral and quatrefoil centerpiece design on both covers, elaborate gilt-tooled spine. The name "Dr. Henry M. Garsson" appears in gilt at the bottom right front cover, gilt dentelles. First issue point of p.91 mis-numbered as "19." Also with the scarce errata leaf and even scarcer two-page advertisement at end. "Carcanet" is spelled correctly (second state point). This is Tennyson's first regularly published book. Bradstreet's was a very well-respected binder and received an 'honorable mention' in de Bois's "Historical Essay on Art of Bookbinding" (1883)/ Henry Garsson founded a munitions contracting business in 1941, and, interesting, after the war, was found guilty of defrauding the U. S. government and was imprisoned. Fine.
