A tight and handsome copy of this early "Lakeside Classic," the annual keepsake given by this printer and publisher to friends and clients starting in 1903. Long's "Voyages and Travels of an Indian Interpreter and Trader" was first published in London in 1791 and is exceedingly scarce. Early Lakesides from their "green period" -- the first thirty years -- have become increasingly scarce in recent years. This is a lovely copy with flawless giltstamping. HOWES L443 note.
