Description
Albany, New York and Chicago, respectively: The Ross Publishing House; Western Publishing House, 1888. First Edition. Full Morocco. Elaborately gilt decorated full morocco binding -- the decoration on the boards is inspired by Renaissance bindings more than anything else. This is a publisher's binding, and we think quite unusual for a book of this sort especially. 8vo. 23 by 15.5 cm. 776 pp. Two plates, one being the frontis, each with cameo portraits of the authors and other humorists. Some light scattered foxing, mostly in early and final pages. Mostly clean and tight. The publisher's unusual binding has held up well.
