Descripción

8vo. Pp. (2), 3-9. Frontis. photo port. An offprint. Slight age-toning and wear commensurate with age. Laid in undated (circa 1910) unsigned autograph letter: "Mr. Bagley: In some way I overlooked the Parker building before. The third brick building in Seattle." on one panel of a single folded 8 x 10 lined sheet, with two additional mellowed creases, moderately toned. A loving tribute written by the bibliographer of Northwest Americana and longtime University of Washington librarian. Prosch and others were killed in an infamous 1923 accident when their chauffeur-driven car careened into the Duwamish River near Allentown. The passengers were returning from a meeting of the Washington Historical Society. As for Charles Smith, his commanding authority of Pacific Northwest Americana was such that the UW's rare book repository, adjoining Suzzallo Library, was named the Smith Room in his honor. Scarce. Stiff printed wrappers, saddle-stapled. N° de ref. del artículo 7648
