Description

This lot offers a 1906 early edition of "The Song of the Cardinal" by Gene Stratton-Porter, published by The Bobbs-Merrill Company. The book features a decorative green cloth cover with a color illustration of a cardinal, as well as black-stamped titles. The spine is similarly decorated with the title and author's name. Internally, the book includes illustrations based on camera studies from life by the author, reflecting Stratton-Porter's dual talents as both writer and nature photographer. The copyright pages confirm dates of 1903 and 1906 for The Bobbs-Merrill Company, with this volume marked as the "New Edition." The interior pages display some light toning, and the book's edges and corners exhibit mild shelf wear, typical for its age. This collectible work stands as a testament to Stratton-Porter's literary and photographic legacy.
