This is the first state of the first edition, with the caption Moses on the frontispiece illustration. It was changed to Titians Moses in later printings. Ownership signature on the inside front cover of Geo. H. Hand. Yankton Dakota. George H. Hand moved to Yankton in 1865 after serving in the Union Army during the Civil War. He was Attorney General of the Dakota Territory form 1866-1869. He was the Secretary for the Dakota Territory from 1874-1883. In 1880, he served as Acting Governor for almost a year, when Gov. Howard died while in office. Hand died in 1891 and is buried in Yankton. Hand County, SD is named for him. It is wonderful to find copies of Twains books out in the western territories the population of Yankton was fewer than 3,500 in 1880 and this book was there among them, on the shelf of the Secretary for the Territorys library. Contents in good condition, though the binding has suffered. Twain, one supposes, would have been pleased to know that a subscription agent found his way to the (then) territorial seat of the Dakota territories on his behalf. How many copies might he have sold there?

Description: First Edition, first single volume printing of the English edition, with the August ads, the earliest of the issue criteria. Illustrated with a facsimile page of manuscript from Twains notebooks. 8vo, publishers original red cloth, decorated in black and gilt on the spine and upper cover, patterned end-leaves. xxiii, [2], 564 pp. + 32 ads. A very bright, handsome and beautifully preserved copy with just a touch of mellowing to the binding, a very clean and solid copy. THE FIRST ENGLISH EDITION ISSUED IN ONE VOLUME. The seemingly formless form of Twains most typical work is both that of storytelling and travel; for like storytelling, travel is made up of episodic events and encounters." In A TRAMP ABROAD, Twain is discovering himself as a new man in a new place in time, "just as in ROUGHING IT, in its drive West, reveals its protagonist in a series of apprenticeships until he finds himself to be none other that the author in his achieved identity of Mark Twain, so HUCKLEBERRY FINN.reveals its protagonist in a series of initiations until he finds himself to be none other than.Tom Sawyer." Of these journeys, Twain was the master, seemingly never in doubt of himself or where he was going. He had been a riverboat captain and could steer a boat up or down the river through snags or chutes, around islands and bends. And so steering his imagination and ours was somehow no difficulty for this giant of the prose form. This book is an experience in time travel and a splendid read for any of us serious about finding something special in the reading Mark Twain and great American literature.

Specifically, it tells the story of the author's adventures through the Alps with his fictional friend Harris. A combination of fiction and autobiography, the plot is based on Twain's summers in Europe with his family and especially his tours of the Black Forest and Switzerland with Joseph Twichell, who served as the inspiration for Harris.

Price: US$950.00 + shipping
Description: Frontispiece portrait (State A) of the author and frontispiece of Titan's Moses (2nd state) with tissue guard present, complete with 5 inserted plates, 28 additional plates and 295 text illustrations. Contemporary cloth, rebacked, title in gilt on spine, worn at extremities. A presentation inscription to Maud Kennedy signed by her Papa in 1881. First edition of Twain's third travel book describing his month-long trip to central and southern Europe in the summer of 1878 with his friend, Reverend Joseph Twitchell (Harris in the book). The main goal of the trip was to walk most of the way, but the two travelers found themselves using different forms of transport as they traverse the continent. A very enjoyable and humorous work, in which the author blends autobiography and fiction, facts and tall tales. Samuel L. Clemens (1835-1910), who wrote under the pen name Mark Twain, is considered to be one of America's greatest humorists and writers of all times.

Description: First edition of Twain's classic fictionalized account of his walking tour of central and southern Europe, early issue with the portrait in BAL state B (no priority), frontispiece in the first state (captioned "Moses"), state A of the text block (no priority), and the cover stamping in state A. Octavo. 631, [1, ad] pages. Octavo, original publisher's pictorial gilt-stamped brown cloth, with 328 illustrations by Walter Francis Brown, True Williams, W.W. Denslow. BAL 3386. In very good condition. A mixture of autobiography and fictional events, Twain's Tramp Abroad details a journey by the author, with his friend Harris (a character created for the book, and based on his closest friend, Joseph Twichell), through central and southern Europe. While the stated goal of the journey is to walk most of the way, the men find themselves using other forms of transport as they traverse the continent. The book is the fourth of Mark Twain's six travel books published during his lifetime and is often thought to be an unofficial sequel to the first one, The Innocents Abroad (1869). âBesides his accounts of Germany, Switzerland, France and Italy, Twain includes local folklore (some of which he made up) and slips in several sketches that have little or nothing to do with Europe, including one of his most famous comic tales, âJim Bakerâs Bluejay Yarnâ (MacDonnell, 42). The book contains 328 illustrations, which contribute to the humor in the book, four done by Twain himself, "without outside help."

Condition: Near Fine
Description: Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Slipcase. Very Good. First edition, second state with illustration entitled "Titian's Moses." From the library of Eugene Field. 631 pp. plus a 1-page publisher's advertisement at the rear. Rebound in full morocco and decorative endpapers with raised bands. Gilt top edge. Light rubbing to book's extremities. Custom/matching slipcase rubbed on the corners. Original brown cloth bound into the back of the book The book appears to be signed by Mark Twain on the title page and Eugene Field on a rear flyleaf. The signatures, though quite convincing, are likely forgeries made by the famed forger Eugene "Pinny" Field II (1879-1946) and Harry Dayton Sickles, working in tandem. Field's father, Eugene Field (1850-1895), was a newspaper columnist, poet, and book collector. After his death, Eugene Field's book collection passed on to his son. The younger Field developed the ability to imitate the autographs of the authors his father had collected as well as the signature of his father. As a result, Field II used his skills to create "signed" copies of his father's books, and, thus, more profitable. It is believed that Field and Sickles went on to falsify more than one hundred Abraham Lincoln documents as well as signatures of numerous other famous figures including Mark Twain, Rudyard Kipling, Frederic Remington, Theodore Roosevelt, and Robert Louis Stevenson. These forgeries have become collectible in their own right.

Description: First edition, first issue, with the plates in first states: the frontispiece with the fine underlying lines almost vertical, and the second frontispiece with the caption reading "Moses". This title, Twain's third travel book, was sold by subscription only, the publisher forbidding sale of copies to retail bookstores. Readers have generally appreciated A Tramp Abroad more for its comic value than its travel narrative. "Modern editions, however, have ignored the book's original illustrations - which are an integral part of its humour" (Rasmussen, p. 489). Twain himself contributed some drawings, promising in an interview "that need not frighten anybody, for I shall draw only a few" (LeMaster and Wilson, p.743). BAL 3386; Johnson, pp. 30-31. J. R. LeMaster & James D. Wilson, The Mark Twain Encyclopedia, 1993; R. Kent Rasmussen, Mark Twain A to Z, 1996. Octavo (210 x 139 mm). Finely bound in brown morocco by Bayntun c.1980, spine with raised bands, compartments lettered and elaborately tooled in gilt, French fillet to covers, gilt inner dentelles, marbled endpapers, edges gilt. Engraved portrait frontispiece with tissue-guard, 2 plates, numerous illustrations, many full-page. A fine copy.
