Privately printed for George Zabriskie as a Christmas greeting presented to Mrs. (David) Van Dusen, signed by Zabriskie. George Albert Zabriskie (1860-1954) was President of the New York Historical Society from 1939-1947, and Honorary President from 1948 until his death in 1954. He was a great enthusiast of fine books and book binding, and an expert amateur hand-tooler and finisher of books. Though he lived in New York City, he "wintered" in Florida, and issued these charming Christmas keepsakes from his home: "The Doldrums" a Mission-Spanish Revival residence designed by Albert Pierce. Phips was a hunter of sunken treasure who won big. In 1688 Phips returned to London with his ships ladened with 37,538 pounds of pieces of eight, 25 pounds of gold and 2,755 pounds of silver. One tenth of this treasure went to the king, one sixteenth to Phips and the rest to his multitude of investors. He was knighted and appointed the first Royal Governor of Massachusetts. A bright copy of a nice little keepsake. W69
