[Rarebooks] FS: First Edition of Mark Twain's PUDD'NHEAD WILSON

[Charles Agvent]

TWAIN, Mark [CLEMENS, Samuel]. THE TRAGEDY OF PUDD'NHEAD WILSON AND THE 
COMEDY [OF] THOSE EXTRAORDINARY TWINS. Hartford: American Publishing 
Company, 1894. First Edition. Publisher's decorated rust brown cloth. 
With all first printing points described in BAL 3442. Profusely 
illustrated in the margins. Notable of course for its very early use of 
fingerprints in fiction to solve a crime, but also one of Twain's most 
philosophical works and a strong comment on a society that permits 
slavery. Owner name on front endpaper; slightest bit of rubbing to spine 
ends and bottom edge, otherwise an unusually tight, bright copy. Fine. 
(#019708) $1,500
