Description

Dressler, Albert [editor & publisher]. EMPEROR NORTON. LIFE AND EXPERIENCES OF A NOTABLE CHARACTER IN SAN FRANCISCO, 1849–1880. Second edition. San Francisco: Albert Dressler, 1927. 8vo, original dark red textured card covers lettered in orange. Color frontispiece portrait; (8), 30, (6) pages, including four-page signature tipped in after page 30, as issued; other full page and text illustrations, including a facsimile of a Norton 50¢ note. Hinges a bit weak, else near fine. A rarely encountered second edition, designated as such on the title page but appearing otherwise to be identical to the first edition. We have also encountered this edition in blue cloth that appeared also to be original. Ex Wayne Homren Library.
