The Odyssey of Homer SIGNED
Boston: Hougfhton Mifflin Co., 1929. N.C. Wyeth. Pictorial cloth. A crisp, very sharp copy of the 1929 1st trade edition of this lovely N.C. Wyeth-illustrated treatment of Homer's epic poem. THOUGH NOT CALLED FOR, THIS COPY IS INSCRIBED BY N.C. WYETH IN YEAR-OF-PUBLICATION at the foot of the title page. Clean, tight and Near Fine in its deep-red cloth, with bright gilt-titling and insignia along the front panel and bright gilt-titling at the spine. Internally clean as could be as well, with no writing or markings to speak of. Quarto, 16 of Wyeth's full-page color illustrations complementing Homer's immortal text. And as such, inscribed by N.C. Wyeth, one can safely assume that an out-of-series signed copy of the trade edition --as is often the case-- is much less common than the signed/limited edition, which in this case consists of 550 copies. Near Fine. Item #26098
