First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Illustrations by Stanley L. Wood / A. Gilbert, R.O.I. (illustrator). 1st Edition. Six monthly issues of the American edition of the early 20th Century 10-cent magazine bound together without their original covers, and retaining only such ads as appear to verso of the frontispiece and to the rectos of indices for the six monthly issues, said indices being bound together at rear. Bound as a book in red cloth boards, half-bound in red leather with four raised bands, gilt titling and floral devices still bright to spine, but with edges of leather spine showing considerable rub. These issues contain ALL FIVE PARTS of "Beyond the Law / First True Accounts of the World's Most Noted Outlaws," (COMPLETE) by Emmett Dalton (The only Survivor of "The Dalton Gang"), including in the final installment Emmett Dalton's account of the final, doomed double bank robbery in Coffeyville, Kansas, Oct. 5, 1892, in which, it may be noted, town citizens defended themselves and their community by rushing into the hardware store and grabbing rifles, WITHOUT BEING SUBJECTED TO ANY "BACKGROUND CHECKS" OR "WAITING PERIODS." Welsh-born Illustrator Stanley Wood -- who lived for a time as a youth in Kansas -- was known for his action drawings, primarily wash drawings which reproduced well in the halftone process, and was considered by some the best illustrator of horses in action at that time, his work here offering several fine examples. The June issue also contains "The Mad Druid," by N. Cornu, illustrated by A. (Alfred?) Gilbert, R.O.I., from photographs, and "Facing Death for Cinema Thrills," which in addition to Eddie Polo's account of his adventures in a Mexican bull ring, offers a nine-paragraph "Circus Adventure" by Mae Marsh, who apparently had some trouble dismounting her assigned elephant while filming "Polly of the Circus" (1917) -- that being the first film produced by Samuel Goldwyn after founding his studio, Goldwyn Pictures. Reduced from $2,350.
