Lot 259 | Snow-Image, Whittier's copy
Valeur estimée
$ 1 000 – 2 000
[WHITTIER, John Greenleaf (1807-1892).] HAWTHORNE, Nathaniel (1804-1864). The Snow-Image, and Other Twice-Told Tales. Boston: Ticknor, Reed, and Fields, 1852.

John Greenleaf Whittier's personal copy of the first edition, with his ownership signature and bookplate. A fine association between two important figures in 19th-century American literature, and a fitting book for the Quaker poet and abolitionist who would later be best-remembered for his 1866 work Snow-Bound. The present copy also includes a letter from Samuel T. Pickard, Whittier's nephew and eventual executor who was also the publisher of spurious excerpts from Hawthorne's diary in the 1860s. BAL 7602; Clark A19.1a.

Octavo (179 x 110mm). 4 pp. of adverts at front dated January 1852 (some spotting throughout, a couple gatherings sprung). Original brown cloth (chipping to spine ends, wear at corners); modern morocco pull-off box. Provenance: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 (bookplate and ownership signature) – Samuel T. Pickard, author, 1828-1915 (inscription). [With:] Autograph letter signed ("S.T. Pickard") to Miss H.D. Richardson, 1 August 1904, Amesbury, Massachusetts, 8 pp., regarding Whittier's library, family copies, and this copy of Hawthorne's Snow-Image, which he offers to sell.
