About This Item
Cambridge, MA: Moses King, 1882. (12)pp. Eighth thousand. Printed entirely on thin birch bark, with illustrations by the Boston engraver J.S. Conant. The front cover bears the illustration of a birch tree with the year 1880 carved into the bark, and on the rear cover cherubs strip birch bark from a tree. Lummis created these unusual miniatures while he was still a student at Harvard, after working as a printer at a New Hampshire resort hotel. These poems were his first published works. Mild chips to penultimate leaf, else near fine. (Bondy, p. 159). (2 15/16 by 2 7/16; 75x63mm).
