About This Item
Chicago: R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company, 1918. Hardcover. 16mo. Green cloth, gilt. xxii, 186pp. Top edge gilt. Frontispiece. Near fine. Tight, attractive copy of this early "Lakeside Classic," the annual keepsake presented by this printer/publisher to friends and clients starting in 1903. This volume contains Morris Birkbeck's "Observations of an English Immigrant in 1817," William Newnham Blake's "A Tour in Southern Illinois in 1822" and Henry R. Schoolcraft's "A Journey Up the Illinois River in 1821." A superb, bright and lovely copy. Early Lakesides from their "green period" -- the first thirty years -- have become quite scarce in recent years.
