Description
One of the most iconic covers of any turn-of-the-century American book. The scarce first edition of Hearn’s Shadowings in a beautiful, clean and solid example. TEG. Pub. 1900 by Little, Brown and Company (first edition). Matching dates on title and verso with no other printings listed. Prior to 1928, Little, Brown and Co. "…made no attempt to designate first editions." (Boutell and Boutell). Just a hint of rubbing at a couple of spots on the head and foot of spine, else fine. Gilt titling still bright and vivid with not a drop of color loss. Hinges tight with no cracking. Cover design by the Decorative Designers…one of their best. 5.25 x 7.75. 268 pp. plus 4 pp. of ads at rear.
