BROWN, Alice - Louise Imogen Guiney

New York, The Macmillan Company, 1921. Hardcover. 8vo. Yellow cloth spine and yellow paper over boards, dust jacket. 111pp. Frontispiece. Near fine/very good. Jacket rather edgeworn, with couple small edge chips at head and tail of jacket spine. A tight, lovely first edition of Brown's first book, a study of the works of the just-deceased and little-known New England poet and essayist Guiney (1861-1920). The frontispiece, a head and shoulders wood engraving of a young woman (presumably Guiney) wearing a crown of laurels, is signed boldly in pencil just below the image by famed wood engraver TIMOTHY COLE (1852-1931), whose wood engraved interpetations of the Old Masters graced "Century" and "Scribner's" magazines from 1892 to 1917 and were a smash hit published in book form. .
