Blind stamped decorations. Staining and minor dampstaining to the boards. Top 1 1/2 inches of spine cracked and starting to separate (common with this title). Previous owner "B. G. Godfrey & Co, 239 Marker St, Philadelphia" inked on front flyleaf and penciled on the second flyleaf. Some foxing internally, generally a sound copy. Cloth. Laid in is a printout from PA-Roots about Lincoln Godfrey and his father who founded B. G. Godfrey and Company, "one of the large dry-goods commission houses in the country." Often found rebacked or with significant wear, this is a decent copy in the original cloth. "Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson (RWH&E), one of the most prominent printing and engraving firms in nineteenth-century America, was the first to receive a government contract for designing and printing U.S. postage stamps. Though the firm's production was smallonly two stamp Issuesits artistry set the standard for succeeding U.S. printing and engraving firms. The RWH&E issues were generally superior to the first stamps produced by other countries." (Smithsonian National Postal Museum).
