With a tipped in facsimile of van Sandwyk's miniature book “Wee Folk.” Edition limited to 50 copies. This copy was specially bound for booksellers Wessel and Lieberman; at the colophon, the number of this copy is struck in pencil, with the note: "Made-up copy for Wessel and Lieberman Booksellers." A curious publication, lacking the two plates called for, and with the quires bound out of sequence. While all leaves are present, the pagination is non-sequential. Fine. Item #5290
