SELF RELIANCE BY RALPH WALDO EMERSON 1902 - SUEDE COVERED ROYCROFT

Description: SELF RELIANCE BY RALPH WALDO EMERSON 1902 - SUEDE COVERED ROYCROFT - PROVINANCE Click images to enlarge Description Offered for Sale is this Amazing Copy of Self Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson. The book has a reddish-brown suede outer jacket and is personalized with a tintype photo (subjects unidentified) and the stamp of Ex Libras, Evelyn Hanscom (later Green). I have numerous items from Evelyn Hanscom (Green) including photos. I would assume the tintype is of family members but cannot be sure. The book was printed at the Roycroft Shop in East Aurora NY 1902. The top of the pages are gilded. Provenance - Evelyn Hanscom (later Green) was an artistic child as evidenced by an early grade school sketch book full of colored drawings, mainly of flowers (NFS). She was later known for her period Dolls with appropriate Period Costumes. The story goes that she sold her collection in later years to the Smithsonian (passed on by family members, I can't substantiate this claim). You can still find examples of her dolls for sale online. Size: 5 1/4" Width - 8" Height Condition: - Fair General Overall Used Condition. I am not proficient in grading books and will simply identify what I see when reviewing this example. The exterior cover displays wear, fraying, tears, some loss and a general overall worn appearance. The binding is intact but shows wear and weakness from handling. The frontispiece portrait was well protected and is in very good condition. The interior pages appear to be in good condition with waviness and slight discoloration to the outer edges (only the edges). I would suggest this copy has been well-preserved for its age.
