Oak Knoll

First edition, first printing limited to 300 numbered copies. Weber, pg 32. Signed by the author and illustrator. Etched, printed, and bound by Bernhardt Wall. A near fine copy. Sixteen engravings. Henry Van Dyke regarded this classical poem on the Emancipator by Edwin Markham (1852-1940), delivered at the dedication of the National Lincoln Memorial on May 20, 1922, "as the greatest thing that has ever been written on our immortal martyr." There was a second edition of Wall's first book about Lincoln. A very scarce book.
