Beschreibung

Small 4to. Stiff light grey wrappers. 88pp. Illustrations, foldout chart. Very good. Faint wear to outer wrappers (only), else tight and internally fine. First separate printing of this study that first appeared in Volume VIII of the "Proceedings of the Davenport Academy of Natural Sciences." Interesting autograph addition: Tipped before the title page is a handsome Autograph Letter Signed from Starr, 1p, 5¼" X 8¼", Seattle, WA, 22 August 1931. Addressed to Mary B. Day (1883-1959, librarian at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry). Fine. On Starr's personal letterhead, he chats with a fellow bookplate-collecting enthusiast: "I am glad that you are to be in the famous old building in Jackson Park, with 'your Library' next spring. May you be happy and successful with it. I shall be in Chicago in February-March. I fear that will be too early to see you in all your glory." Boldly penned and signed in full. Starr (1858-1933) was a popular anthropologist and educator who began at the University of Chicago in 1891 and taught there for 31 years. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 46540
