Wolf Winthrop (1 results)

8vo, 21 leaves printed on rectos only, swelled by 16 blank binder's leaves to facilitate binding; likely original full brown morocco, the title and author stamped in gilt on the upper cover within a triple gilt rule; joints rubbed, some scuffing; all else very good. A number of the poems have pencil notations, one would be tempted to say the author's own, but the book was posthumously published so the notes are likely those of a family member. The edition size was likely quite small and done for family members only. The poems were written over a period of more than 25 years, from 1855 to 1882. John Winthrop DeWolf (1830-1882) was born in Bristol, and educated at Brown. Brown only in OCLC but apparently holding three copies.
