[Deborah Thornton Pendleton]

For Your Consideration.

Clement Biddle, (1810-1879) a member of the noted Philadelphia Biddle 
family, was an author and poet and practiced law in Philadelphia.

1) [BIDDLE, Charles]. AIRDRIE AND FUGITIVE PIECES. Philadelphia: George 
Gebbie, 1872. 1st edition. Tall 8vo.; [2], iv, 5-37p., [7] leaves of 
plates,
in green pebbled cloth over boards with gilt title on front cover and 
spine. Beveled edges; top edge gilt. Ends of spine a bit rubbed. 
Inscribed by
the author on the front blank. Illustrated with 7 mounted photos of the 
Biddle estate to correspond with Biddle's poetry. Tissue guard missing from
frontis. I believe these images are Woodburytypes, but they could be 
Carbon prints or one of the more obscure processes. The images are 
unfaded with
a good range of tones. The estate pictures are of the house, landscapes, 
donkeys, &c. $200

same photos as the preceding book with the addition of 3 photos of 
original drawings. Several text illustrations. With 28 poems (including
the 10 poems in the preceding book). The first book of poetry published 
under Biddle's name.    $200
