Title

Wrappers of Part I

Description

This photo shows the front wrapper from Part 1 of Harris’s The Fishes of North America That Are Captured on Hook and Line (1898). The wrappers for the first part were relatively plain, but later parts (such as Part III shown in this exhibition) featured a more decorative design. My copy of this work includes all 20 original parts in wrappers and is quite uncommon in this original state.
