Hardcover. Condition: Very good. First Edition. In his introduction to this book, Wall explains that he had purchase an old two-volume set of The Spectator at a secondhand bookstore when he was a child. The tale printed here was a favorite of young Bernhardt. It is (supposedly) Addison's translation of a story about a man who, as a joke, was wrapped up like a mummy and then placed in bed between two beautiful naked women who teased him all night long. Wall's illustrations for the story are cartoonish, not unlike the work for many of his postcards. But there are two other etchings near the front of the book of an entirely different character, dark, and moody. In one, a ghostly figure kneels on a grave and in another, a man tortured after death, tries to catch a fish in his teeth while his arms are restrained. Wall also includes portraits of Addison and Plato in this volume. Published in an edition of 150 copies, this is number 10. 21 etched leaves, including eight text plates. The title page is dated 1925 and the copyright is dated 1926. Wall was a prolific designer of humorous postcards in the early twentieth century (some 5000 designs are attributed to him). Beginning in the 1920s, he began producing short books entirely comprised of etchings?both text and illustrations were engraved on copper plates and printed by Wall in his shop in Connecticut. The subjects were intensely personal and the illustrations were iconoclastic. First edition (first printing). Very good in paper-covered boards with a cloth spine. A sort of leather label is affixed around the spine at the top of the book. It is partially worn away, possible with loss of the title. Signed by Wall on the limitation page.

Condition: Near Fine. One of 940 hand-illumined copies, signed by Hubbard on the limitation page numbered 657/940. Deluxe edition bound in limp brown suede with gilt leather labels 'Little Journeys / English Authors' and 'Joseph Addison.' This deluxe suede-bound edition is printed on Roycroft handmade paper, bearing the watermark of the East Aurora workshop. The typography is enriched with illuminated initials and decorative borders designed by Samuel Warner, hand-colored in gilt and soft hues of green and yellow by the Roycroft illuminators. The frontispiece features a photogravure portrait of Joseph Addison on Japan vellum, protected by its original tissue guard. The text closes with Hubbard's familiar colophon, executed in red and black, and the signed limitation statement in Hubbard's characteristic hand. Decorative title page and initials designed by Samuel Warner, hand-illumined in color and gilt by the Roycroft illuminators. The binding is full limp suede, light brown, with gilt-lettered leather title panels reading "Little Journeys / English Authors" and "Joseph Addison." The suede retains its suppleness, with minimal edge wear and mild rubbing to the yapped edges and spine ends. The sewing is tight, and the text block square. The interior is notably clean and bright, the coloring of the decorative initials vivid and original. An exceptionally well-preserved example of this signed and illumined issuefar superior to the more common stiff wraps or unsigned variants. This beautifully crafted volume represents the high point of the Roycroft Press at the close of the nineteenth centuryissued during the period when Elbert Hubbard's Little Journeys series defined the ideals of the American Arts & Crafts movement. The English Authors series, printed and published between 1899 and 1900, celebrated figures such as Addison, Milton, Wordsworth, and Tennyson through Hubbard's essays and the press's distinctive union of art and craftsmanship.
