1920ref. SHEL1346Newark and NYC: Charles E. Graham 1920. Hardcover. Very Good/Fair. Beautiful reprint edition circa 1920 of 1877 book. Wide 8vo. Pictorial red cloth with applied lithograph of watercolor painting on decorated red cloth with black titles. Unpaginated. Color frontispiece and 50 b/w illustrations we believe to be from wood block. Ink inscription "From Santa Claus" on ffep with no names or other gift information. The front and rear free endpapers are toned as the paper used to print this edition was pulpy. The condition is remarkably good and the covers are bright with only one slight corner bump. The dj is fair with chips and with one edge of the backstrip that was detached reattached with archival material. We must note that the dj although clearly period old has no price listed. The dj flaps along the leading edge are blank and the lovely color illustrated panels of the covers extend more than half-way onto the flaps. If this were new paper we would suspect this is a copied dj but frankly we do not believe this to be the case. The colors are rich and have depth and the wear is not artificial. We simply believe this to be a cheaply produced book. Evenso it is a beautiful copy of a class horse book. Charles E. Graham hardcover
