First edition (not stated). 261 pages. Hardcover: H 20.25cm x L 28.25cm. No dust jacket. Black boards and spine; slender fraying/wear at spine ends and at board corners; front board's gilt stamping remains bright. All edges gilt. Slight toning and soiling to endpapers; some occasional fingerprint soiling but otherwise interior p…ages are clean. Binding stressed between pages 2-3 but otherwise is firm. Still a very attractive copy of a book that tends not to age well. Although with no markings as such, the book was acquired from the estate collection of Dr. Edward Lee Dorsett (1883-1967) whose father, Dr. Walter Blackburn Dorsett (1852-1915) is pictured on page 170. No publication date specified but OCLC indicates 1903. OCLC locates copies at only fourteen member institutions. Features 506 b/w caricature illustrations of St. Louis, Missouri's leading citizens, businessmen, attorneys, doctors, etc. by seven staff cartoonists of the Joseph Pulitzer-owned St. Louis Post-Dispatch (although the introductory essay "Exordium" cites the "Daily Press" which likely a reference to the journalism profession en masse). The caricature portraits are all fairly flattering and highlight the individual's cranial appearance in conjunction with elements of their profession; undoubtedly most if not all of the subjects paid to be included in what was more-or-less a "Who's Who" among the ever-growing midwestern metropolis. Please note that this book has an approximate shipping weight of 3.75 pounds (1.7 kg) and may require additional postage for any postal class other than domestic Media Mail.
