WILLIAM H. BRADLEY SCRIBNER'S / THE MODERN POSTER. 1895.
20x12 1/2 inches.
Condition A-: minor wrinkles and tears along bottom margin. Paper. Numbered and initialed in pen.
The first American book dedicated to the poster craze was published by Charles Scribner in 1895 and contained articles on the development of the poster in different countries, including England, France, Italy and America. The book was limited to 1000 copies for which Bradley designed the paper cover label and the frontispiece. As an added incentive to poster lovers, each of the copies came with this Bradley poster. This copy is numbered 102 and (like all in the run) is initialed by Charles Scribner. Antiquarian bookdealers who handle the book note that when it is sold it is "as usual" without the poster. Not in Kiehl, DFP I 158, Margolin p. 46, Koch p. 63, Virginia p. 10, Keay p. 27.
