November Boughs

Walt Whitman, 1888

WHITMAN, Walt (1819-1892). November Boughs. Philadelphia: David McKay, 1888.



Fine signed copy of the first edition, first printing. One of 100 copies in presentation binding of flexible deep red cloth. This copy is signed by Walt Whitman on the front free endpaper. Just 100 copies were done at Whitman's expense for his own use for presentation; the remaining copies of the edition, about 1000, were bound in hard beveled cloth and published and sold by McKay. The poems in November Boughs were later incorporated in Leaves of Grass as “Sands at Seventy,” and the prose preface, “A Backward Glance o'er Travel'd Roads,” became the epilogue of Leaves of Grass in 1889. BAL 21430 (printing 1, binding B); Myerson A12.I.a (first printing, first [American] issue, binding B).



Large octavo. Frontispiece portrait, portrait of Elias Hicks in text, leaf of ads at end. Original flexible cloth, front cover and spine gilt-lettered, untrimmed (a little fingersoiling to endleaves, some leaves hastily opened, cloth with mild rubbing/darkening and a faint mark to front cover); modern quarter morocco clamshell box.
