LEAVES OF GRASS

First edition with these illustrations. Publisher's original quarter green leather over green buckram boards illustrated in grey after a design by Frances Button. Titles in gilt to the upper board and spine. With a frontispiece illustration of the author and many drawings throughout the text by Abigail Rorer. A fine copy, the binding square and tight, the corners sharp. The contents are spotlessly clean throughout. Housed in the original card slipcase that has a minor bump to one corner.
