Wrapper and Advertisement
Title
Wrapper and Advertisement
Description
The verso of the front wrapper for Harris’s The Fishes of North America That Are Captured on Hook and Line (1898) includes advertisements for the work and testimonials to its cost and quality, presumably to encourage subscribers to continue their subscriptions. Harris originally planned the work to span 2 volumes with 80 plates but only 1 volume with 40 plates was completed.
