Life of Daniel Webster. In two Volumes
New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1889. Half Leather. Good. Item #019106
Half leather with marbled boards. 612, 729 pp. MISSING frontispiece illustrations in both volumes. An exhaustive biography on American orator and statesman, Daniel Webster. Provenance note: these books were apparently originally in the collection of Ralph Pulitzer, and both bear a large bookplate, designed by Rockwell Kent for Pulitzer and his second wife. GOOD condition. Ex-library, with interior pocket and pastedown, as well as blindstamping to the title pages. Second volume's front pastedown library bookplate partially obscures the Pulitzer bookplate. No exterior library markings noted. Minor to moderate scuffing, heavier to the leather and extremities, with minor splitting along the hinges. Minor toning in the interior. Frontispieces MISSING.
