Stone is referring to the publication date, which occurred 40 years beforehand. Original printed paper covered boards with cover insert on purple paper and printed with superb Art Nouveau illustrative cover and letter, rear cover with smaller purple insert of the same paper with title credits. A very rare and innovative book published at the Turn of the Century featuring bookplates "whose designs we reproduce are not perhaps widely known but both have obtained some little recognition with the discerning few. This book, will, we trust, make their work known to a few more." But, it turns out, most of the drawings are by Wilbur Stone. In contemporary handmade folders with letting on spine, made possibly by Stone. Some chipping to spine, else near fine. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 6424
