Beschreibung
4to. Pp. 18. Frontis. photo portrait by Edgar Kahn. With an additional photo of Wagner by Don Hill. Bound in stiff printed wraps featuring black lettering on front cover, and a blue laurel wreath. Top corner bumped at spine, and a slight ink line on each of the three preliminaries, perhaps a printing error. Else, a Fine copy. While a larger edition of 2,000 was printed, this edition printed by Lawton Kennedy was limited to 200 copies. A fine memorial tribute to the great scholar of Western exploration. Streeter looks at the hats Wagner wore, including collector, cartographer, mining engineer, bibliographer and historian, whereas Camp provides a biography of Wagner, and his effort to revitalize the California Historical Society. The essay by Axe examines the life of Wagner's wife, Blanche Collett Wagner, who died a mere seven weeks after Henry Wagner. Where would we be without Wagner's groundbreaking research into early maritime and overland exploration? Now housed in an clear, removable archival sleeve with acid-free backing.
