A tight and decent first edition of this fine anthology -- and boldly signed and inscribed by the author in blue fountain pen on the front flyleaf: "For Carl Tolpo / with great pleasure. / Paul M. Angle / Jan. 10, 1951." Carl Tolpo (1901-76) was a noted sculptor and painter whose busts of Lincoln are considered among the best. Tolpo signs in pencil near the top of this same flyleaf, adding "Bought at Fields / Mar 3 -- 47 / Chicago."
