Henry Wadsworth Longellow, 1879

LONGFELLOW, Henry Wadsworth (1807-1882). From My Arm-chair. [1879.]



Rare signed Longfellow ephemera—first edition. When "the spreading chestnut tree" referenced in Longfellow's poem The Village Blacksmith was felled to make way for the widening of Brattle Street, the children of Cambridge paid to have a chair made from its wood for the now elderly poet. Longfellow was increasingly thought of as a children's poet, and he wrote this poem in thanks for their gift. This pamphlet was given as a souvenir to children who visited him and sat in the chair. BAL state A of the text, with Longfellow's signature on the last page. BAL also notes an extant proof printing, and the poem later appeared in Longfellow's collection Ultima Thule. BAL 12212.



Bifolium (279 x 265mm). Printed on both sides (splitting at fold, stain at lower margin, toning). In paper chemise with slipcase. Provenance: Howard Lehman Goodhart, 1884-1951 (morocco book label).
