Sturges, Lee. One of 50 copies printed on handmade paper. With 7 etched plates by Sturges, each with lettered tissue guards, numerous text illustrations. Frontispiece etching signed lower right in pencil. Unpaginated, [40] pp. 1 vols. 8vo. A beautifullly produced volume, the account of a weeklong canoe trip fishing for salmon with guide Harry Allen, privately printed for Lee Sturges (1865-1954), a well known Chicago artist and industrialist. The book was designed and printed by Ralph Fletcher Seymour, notable in the Chicago Arts and Crafts movement. Bruns recounts a story told by the author's son, that his father's house burned down and with it most of the edition. Bruns suggests that "four or five copies" survived; the actual number to have survived is perhaps a dozen copies. Unquestionably rare.
