Description: His hair was short and parted accurately in the middle, and he had all the look of an American person who would be likely to begin his signature with an initial, and spell his middle name out. Here we offer the 1991 heirloom-quality facsimile reproduction of the 1880 first US edition of Mark Twain's classic European travelogue, A Tramp Abroad, densely illustrated by a variety of artists, and originally published by Samuel Clemens's American Publishing Company, Hartford, Connecticut. This is an extremely accurate recreation of the original by Charles Winthrop & Sons--the highest quality facsimile available: large, colorful and well-made with the best quality pulp and cloth and precisely detailed in its reproduction with gilt-impressed brown cloth boards and gilted text block all the way around (to keep dust out). This wonderful book comes with a special bonus: a full-sized modern reproduction of an actual pictorial newspaper ad from the February 27, 1885 Baltimore American advertising a reading by Twain and the novelist George Cable, known as the first modern Southern writer. Also included are collectors' notes on the novel by Twain expert, Bruce Michelson. In excellent condition in every way, seems unread (please see pics.) 631 pages, plus a facsimile advertising page.
