Wilkes Expedition: Spofford AR. A. R.
AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT SIGNED BY A.R. SPOFFORD AS LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS DETAILING THE EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCTION COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE WILKES NARRATIVE AND THE DISPOSITION OF THE SETS
N.p. likely Washington D.C. 1864. 2pp. on plain paper 8 x 5 inches. Minor toning. Very good. An important letter for book historians those interested in the early history of the Library of Congress and particularly those enamored of the Wilkes Expedition. Here A.R. Spofford legendary Librarian of Congress from 1864 to 1897 who transformed the library from a quiet reference outlet into a national institution that served the American public details the specifics regarding the printing of the Wilkes expedition narrative by the United States government. Spofford begins by referring to the Wilkes narrative as "By far the most costly and expensive publication ever undertaken by the Government." He continues: "This vast undertaking though strictly limited to an edition of 100 copies & never completed cost the Government from first to last $242460.55. This enormous sum was of course exclusive of any expenses of the Expedition itself & covered 1st The labor of many scientific experts in various fields - 2d The finest engravings which the art of the day could supply - 3d The choicest paper of heavy satin finish - 4th The handpress work of the best printers - 5th Binding in the heaviest & most durable of turkey morocco full gilt." Spofford then proceeds to detail how many volumes were printed how many atlases up to 1861 and then breaks down the distribution of the completed sets including the knowledge that thirty-four sets went to foreign governments. A fascinating source of information on the original printing and distribution of an important American expedition. unknown
