Limited Edition. Folio, 6pp., followed by 24 engravings with attached printed tissue guards. Housed in a patterened silk portfolio with paper chemise. Portfolio with some minor wear to extremities, the chemise flaps with long rips and tears, but present. Prints, tissue guards, and text leaves in fine condition; overall a near fine example. A simply charming example of this suite of sepia-toned prints, matted to heavy paper leaves, each of which is SIGNED in varying inks by the respective authors. The portraits include some major writers of the day, such as Ida M. Tarbell, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Sinclair Lewis, Dorothy Thompson, Walter Lippmann, Alexander Woollcott, Edna Ferber, and many others. This suite of signed portraits is a kind of companion to the published book "Portraits of Thirty Authors," which included smaller versions of these same prints, and without any autographs. This suite of 24 portraits represents all of the authors featured in the book who were alive and whose autographs the publisher was able to obtain. Though there is no limitation statement, the suite of signed portraits was necessarily produced in small numbers, and is rare in commerce as a complete set. The full list of signed portraits is as follows: John Erskine -- Sinclair Lewis --Edna St. Vincent Millay -- Royal Cortissoz -- Ida M. Tarbell -- James Truslow Adams -- Fannie Hurst -- Walter de la Mare -- Dorothy Thompson -- H.M. Tomlinson -- G.B. Stern -- Rupert Hughes -- James Shotwell -- Edna Ferber -- Lion Feuchtwanger -- Walter Lippmann -- Lowell Thomas -- Joseph Auslander -- Irving Bacheller -- Alfred Noyes -- Pertinax -- William Brown Meloney -- Alexander Woollcott -- Sir Philip Gibbs.
