Beschreibung

Oblong quarto, unpaginated (2 leaves, plus eight unnumbered plates). A good copy only in the publisher's blue-green boards with white vellum spine and onlaid illustrated title label to front board. Wear to spine vellum, rear inner hinge cracked and exposed, and foxing/soiling to endpapers, but the plates clean and attractive. In the publisher's slipcase, soiled and with some wear to the opening, but sound. The eight plates are color-tinted photogravures, each of which brings to life the carefully nurtured gardens of this Bratenahl estate on the shore of Lake Erie. The book, which is signed by Dalton on the only text page, was produced in very small numbers; of the seven copies held by worldwide libraries, six of these are at major Cleveland institutions; the other is at the Smithsonian. The author, Dalton, was a Cleveland shipping magnate and industrialist. He published this memorial volume for his late wif three years after her death, and he died a year later, in 1939.
