[Charles Agvent]

MEREDITH, Harriet [EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. SKETCHES, LIFE THOUGHTS AND 
INCIDENTS. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott, 1881. First Edition. Bound in 
full, blind-stamped publisher's black morocco leather and illustrated

The only copy of this book we were able to locate, at Brown University, 
makes no mention of a photograph. Includes at least two poems touching 
upon photography--"A Group of Cartes-de-Visite" and "Lines on a 
Photographic Group of Authors." Some rubbing to binding, but Near Fine, 
contents bright. (#009581)        $250.00
