Gettysburg Address.

(LINCOLN, Abraham).

San Francisco: Wallace Kibbee & Son, n.y. Paperback. 4to. Heavy stock printed tan folder. Near fine. Item #51614

First and likely sole printing of this finely printed folder printed in commemoration of the 127th anniversary of Lincoln's birth (which thus dates this undated item to circa 1936), with the famed text on front wrapper and inner leaf containing an introduction, at the bottom of which Kibbee signs large and bold in brown ink. Colophon at rear notes this edition limited to 380 copies -- though he rarely signed the inner leaf. Unusual and seldom seen. Kibbee (1888-1972) was a noted California printer and type designer.
