New York: H. A. Rost Printing and Publishing Co, 1896. Softbound. Good; general age toning to the paper and faint staining to upper right corner of each page (does not affect actual etchings); covers brittle and taped. Ex-lib.. Bluish paper wraps (with extensive tape repairs). One page Publisher's Note, followed by the 6 etchings, each one signed. This series contains 6 etchings: Birthplace of William Shakespeare (A.J. Mura); Homestead of Oliver Wendell Holmes (J. La Pierre); Cottage of Edgar Allen Poe (J. La Pierre); Birthplace of Howard Payne (A.J. Mura); Home of Ralph Waldo Emerson (A.J. Mura); Home of Charles Dickens (A.J. Mura). Found in OCLC, but not Worldcat, nowhere on the net, thus quite rare. Each etching is signed in pencil by the etcher. Apparently, this is the only part that was published. (Inventory #: 115310)
