We expect that we will be down through April and hope to resume sending our weekly e-catalogues sometime in May. At that time we will be open “by appointment only”. Until then our books will not be for sale. In the meantime, you can contact us by email at nick@blackswanbooks.com.
[AUTOGRAPH ALBUM] LYDIA A. EDWARDS. 1870-1880’s
A small autograph album (8 cm. x 12.5 cm.) belonging to Lydia A. Edwards, who name is penned floridly on the silk moire endpaper. Most of the autographs are signed without comment, with the name of some Florida locale (though some are from such far-flung climes as Illinois). Occasional sentiment or verse. We like “Love me little | Love me long | Do not flirt | For it is wrong” on a laid in note. And are charmed by an elaborately penned, in alternating letters of red and blue, “Remeber (sic) your friend, Clyde”.~Spine has been repaired. Brown calf binding ruled in gilt with border in blind and elaborately stamped “Autographs” to the front cover.
