Brotherhead, William The Centennial Book Of The Signers: Being Fac-Simile Letters of Each Signer of the Declaration Of Independence
J.M. Stoddart & Co 1875 Half-Leather Very Good
14" x 11", 295pp. Illustrated with 100 engravings of portraits, views, etc., including 13 original handcolored designs (one for each colony) with a historical monograph and a history of the Centennial Exhibition. The first 160pp includes the history of the exhibition, the historical monograph which has a summary of the history of each colony and a biography of each signer, the text of the declaration, a history of Independence Hall and the exhibition buildings. The next 135pp. has a page dedicated to each signer with an engraving or two of the signer, his home, etc. and a facsimile of a signed letter written by that signer. The signers are arranged by state, starting in the north with New Hampshire and concluding with Georgia. The elusive Button Gwinett is included. Each state's section begins with an elaborate hand-colored engraving. Handsomely bound in half-morocco with gilt lettering and ornamentation on the covers and spine. There is some scuffing to the leather, otherwise a very good copy with strong hinges. Howes 819 67583
