Catalogue Note
A FINE COPY OF THE EXTRA-LIMITED SIGNED ISSUE.
Hughey records an issue of 100 copies, an issue of 750 copies and the standard trade issue, all published in October 1911. The extra-limited issue was printed on Japanese vellum and bound in pigskin by J. May. It sold for more than twice the publication price of the 750 copy issue.
The publishers originally advertised the book as "a great illustrator's greatest success".
