[ROYCROFT PRESS], WHITE HYACINTHS. 1907. Note that this is not the same as more extensive volumes published under this title by the Roycroft Press, with either 108 or 161 pages -- but is just a 51 pp. small book containing just the title essay. This copy is inscribed in ink by Elbert Hubbard. It retains the famous double-page title and several decorative devices printed in color -- designed by Dard Hunter, later to become the great historian of paper, and a fine press prioprietor on his own behalf. Offered together with eight additional volumes bound in the Roycroft's distinctive limp leather bindings, and one other.


PROVENANCE: Estate of Jim Graham, former Washington, DC, Councilman
Estimate $200-250
