One of seven sets of artist's proofs, with each of the 8 etchings signed and numbered by Bishop, a groundbreaking twentieth-century social realist.

As the colophon relates: "Until this printing, only proofs of these images were ever printed. This printing was done on Rives Heavyweight paper by Stephen Sholinsky of Stem Graphics, New York . . . The total number of impressions pulled from each plate is 60." There is a regular edition of 50,…

New York: Benj. R. Tucker; Blumenberg Press, 1899. Duodecimo (18.5 x 13.5 cm.), [8], 44 pages. Second American Edition. Preceded by the Brentano's edition (circa 1898) though often considered the first American edition. This edition was published in two states, the first in which the text appears on rectos only and some leaves are untrimmed; in the second the text is printed on rectos and versos: "Both editions, that printed on one side and that printed on both sides, are from the same type. It is therefore clear that they are not two independent editions, but the one-side issue constitutes merely a kind of de-luxe variety, while the two-sided is a cheaper, popular version of the same edition" (Horodisch, pages 76-77). This copy comports with the first state, with text printed one side only. A printer's binder's issue is extant, as at least one leaf is hinged at the top edge. Is it possible that what Horodisch thought a deluxe issue is merely error, some of which made it to the wild? Issued by…
