Harrison of Paris, 1930. Hardcover. Number 45 of 840 copies. "Of America's historical and legendary scenes, the Wild West is the one which casts the most magic spell abroad. It was Bret Harte who first saw it as Americans and foreigners have seen it ever since; he was its particular prodigy, its spokesman and laureate. How many cowboys with Greek profiles, how many chaste and sturdy heroines, how many poetical platitudinous films, owe their existence to him!" (slipcase).
