Private press reprint of a Morley article which originally appeared in the NY Evening Post in 1923. (Lee no.41). One of Morley's maritime writings: The sailing ship Tusitalia is towed from its berth to the mouth of Lower New York Bay, hoists sails, and departs over the horizon. The plate is a tipped-in print, somewhat retouched, of a photograph of the ship taken by Morley, possibly from the tugboat. There are page decorations and an illuminated initial using various nautical motifs, along with a tailpiece (all unattributed). Per colophon, book two of the "Oliver Press."
