19309953New York: Printed by the Harbor Press for the Derrydale Press 1930. Unbound. Very Good binding. Small octavo. 32 pp. illus. 2 of 3 uncut unbound sheets which include 4 of the color illustrations after Cruikshank used in the original 1829 edition the title page and the information on the illustrations. We have collated this against a digital version and confirmed that there was one more section that would have completed the book. The final sheet also included the colophon and note the Harbor Press was the printer and Fass the typographer. The edition was 490 copies. These sheets were mailed to Mrs. Thomas Elizabeth Post Morrow in Brooklyn NY in a small envelope with the printed return-address on reverse of The Colophon A Book Collectors' Quarterly NY—postmarked in 1933. Fass too had a robust relationship with the Colophon at this time printing several pieces for the periodical in 1929 and 1930. We are unaware if there was any relationship between Fass and Morrow. <br /> <br /> The obituary of Elisabeth Post Morrow 1896-1992 was published in the Brookhaven Free Library Newsletter. Mrs. Morrow "was a quiet philanthropist and generous supporter of her community . . . a charter member of her literary club historical society as well as a Trustee of the Packer Institute in Brooklyn. She had many other interests including music especially opera books and printing birds and local natural areas. Before braille was done by machine Elisabeth copied books in braille for the blind. . ." Dorothy Jones and Faith McCutcheon. She maintained a lifelong and wide correspondence concerning her typographic and ephemeral collecting interests. <br /> <br /> This is an interesting piece of an ephemera from one of the notable early 20th century fine printers and significant philanthropist and collector here seemingly connected by the most important bibliophilic periodical of the era.
