First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First edition. 16mo, 29 + (2) pp., two-tone cloth, some small splotchy spots on some pages, inked date on endpaper In 1902, after only two books (and a few pamphlets), Millard gave the press and type to Jane Addams' Hull House. [Ransom, PRIVATE PRESSES AND THEIR BOOKS, p.258, #1]. I do not know what press was used to produce this book. Printed in Munder Venezian type, on Kelmscott hand made paper with watermark hammer and anvil. John Browere dreamed of a national sculpture gallery, and he had a secret process to make life masks of notable Americans, including John Adams and James Madison, and was accused of nearly smothering Thomas Jefferson in the clayey mask. Inserted photogravure portrait plates.
