Offsetting to front free endpaper as usual. Edges of cover slightly faded else a near fine copy. In 1938 Jane Grabhorn in partnership with W. M. Roth and Jane Swinerton set up The Colt Press.

We believe this title to be the last published and printed by the "original" Colt Press. The frontispiece portrait of Omai is from the painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds.

Mai ca.1751-1780 was mistakenly known as "Omai" in Britain and that is how many still think of him today. He was a young Polynesian priest who was brought to England in 1774 on the British ship HMS "Adventure". He was introduced to London high society by the naturalist Sir Joseph Banks who invited Mai to dine with imminent personages of the day such as the First Lord of the Admiralty Lord Sandwich the notorious and boisterous Mrs. Thrale the erudite Fanny Burney and the stubborn skeptic Samuel Johnson. After two years he was returned to Otaheite; this is the story of both his visit and retreat told by the University of Hawaii professor Thomas Blake Clark with a reproduction of Omai's portrait which was done by the eminent portraitist of the day Sir Joshua Reynolds. This is the second book of Jane Grabhorn's Colt Press's "South Sea Series" and was so successful it was reprinted the following year with a more recent reprint being issued by the University of Hawaii; the author Thomas Clark was a scholar of eighteenth century literature who served as a professor at the University.<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Original quarter batik cloth with patterned tapa cloth covered boards printed label strip affixed to backstrip fore-edge uncut plain endpapers monochrome frontis after a portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds most signatures remain unopened; handset type rag paper large octavo size just under 9.75" by 7.75" pagination: i-iv 1-114 115 first and limited edition of five hundred copies.
