Leaves of Grass. Philadelphia: David McKay, (1900).
Early Reprint Edition, with dustjacket featuring an image of Whitman at front panel. Probably from the 1910's or 20's. With "Facsimile autobiography variorum readings of the poems and a department of Gathered Leaves". Original decorative dark green cloth, gilt lettering, green dyed top page edge, frontis plate of Whitman with facsimile inscription. Uncommon early 20th Century edition of Whitman's seminal poetry collection, this copy exceptional for retaining the original publisher's illustrated dustjacket. Scarce. Near Fine but for unfortunate inked name and school at lower page edge, in Very Good dustjacket with modest soiling, shallow chipping at spine ends, flap corners and lower front panel.
