At the time when the great mass of manuscripts, books, and other personal belongings of Robert Louis Stevenson were dispersed through a New York auction room in November 1914 and January 1915, the whole of civilization was being shaken to its very foundations, and the exigencies of the times were such that people were concerned with more important matters than the acquisition of manuscripts and relics. Therefore the sale, which in ordinary times would have attracted widespread attention among editors, critics, publishers, and collectors, went comparatively unnoticed amid the general clamor and apprehension of the time. There was, however, one vigilant Stevenson collector, in the person of Mr. Francis S. Peabody, who bought a large part of the unpublished manuscripts at the sale and has since acquired most of the remainder, which went chiefly to various dealers. Mr. Peabody has generously offered to share the enjoyment of his Stevenson treasures with his fellow bibliophiles, and we are indebted to him for the privilege of issuing the first printed edition of many precious items, without which no collection of Stevensoniana can ever be regarded as being complete.
The Bibliophile Society, 1921 First edition of these poems, the earliest of which is dated 1866. One of 450 copies printed for members of the Bibliophile Society. Introduction and Notes by George S. Hellman and William P. Trent.
Frontispiece portrait, nine facsimiles. Three-quarter vellum over rust cloth sides. The book and the double slipcase are in excellent condition. The facsimiles are of Stevenson's manuscripts. Includes an index of titles and first lines.
Measures: 9.25 x 7.25 x 1
Binding: Rust linen boards w/ off white spinal column, gilt lettering
Please refer to photos; more are available upon request.
