Washington Irving Authorial Presentation Copy
Dark-puce publisher-issued front board
5 curated visualsAbout this census
A visual, copy-by-copy record of the surviving first-edition books: where they are, how they are bound, what inscriptions and ownership marks they preserve, and how each copy moved through private hands and institutional collections.
Visual evidence, not decoration
Images are included only when they illuminate the physical book, an inscription, a binding, a bookplate, a provenance mark, or an associated document. Representative photographs explicitly identified as belonging to another copy were omitted, as were unrelated screenshots and uncertain images.
Binding distribution
Current visual coverage
37 of 42 records now contain at least one curated copy-specific image or associated evidence item. Records without a reliable photograph are left blank rather than filled with a substitute.

Authorial presentation by Charles R. Hale, Christmas 1858.
