A MEMOIR OF JOHN CARTER.
Dampier, William James
The soul's triumph amid the body's wreck

This book includes six black-and-white and one color facsimile sketches by Carter. Also includes a replication of letter correspondence. Inside soiled. Signature completely cracked, detaching the spine between the frontis and the title page. Text-block fragile. Cover faded and heavily worn.
