[Rarebooks] FS: TRAVELS OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN Illustrated and SIGNED by John Held, Jr.

[Charles Agvent]

[RASPE, Rudolf Erich et. al.]. THE TRAVELS OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN. New 
York: Limited Editions Club, 1929. Large octavo (7-1/4" x 10-1/2") bound 
in half green calfskin leather stamped with a fish design in gold and 
printed cloth sides. The third book of the press, designed by William A. 
Kittredge and printed under his supervision at the Lakeside Press. 
Introduction by Carl Van Doren. Illustrated with linoleum cuts by John 
Held, Jr. Of a total of 1500 copies SIGNED by the artist on the colophon 
page, this copy is not numbered (in place of the number is written in 
ink "Office Copy") and bears the Club's blindstamp stating it is one of 
15 presentation copies. The leather on this binding, often found chipped 
or dry, is here fairly supple though rubbed in a few places with 
resulting loss of color. Contents bright and fresh. In our experience 
one of the most difficult books of the press to locate in fine 
condition. Still a Very Good or better copy in a close to Fine slipcase. 
(#017072)        $250.00
