= With accomp. fold. computer printed publisher's announcement, describing the work i.a. as follows: "What are the sights and sounds of paradise? This book suggests ideas of the physical surroundings, (as opposed to states of mind), that evoke a pleasurable and undemanding experience. Each section of the book is a separate proposal that is expressed through the shapes, textures and colours of the pages and the prints. (...) The words are brief; short lines found in Coleridge, a hymn, Kipling or Shakespeare (...)."

= One of the first 15 numb. copies (this copy numb. "2"), containing proofs of three states of the copper engr. frontisp. showing the steamship Britannia. WITH a loosely inserted manuscript letter by George H. Boughton (1833-1905, artist, illustrator and writer) to the author ((4)p., pen and black ink, dated March 19th 95", printed letterhead of "West House (...)"). Mainly on the pleasure he had on hearing that Andrews had bought one of his drawings made for Rip van Winkle. He writes that, because the drawing was not signed, Andrews may cut out his signature to the letter and "stick [it] on a corner or even on the back of the drawing". Also writes that he has "not yet made the drawing for the Chas. Dickens volume, as - really - I cant get a good subject from the little book" and proceeds to ask Andrews which subject he would prefer of the two options that he suggests: "Boston ladies outside his [Dickens'] hotel waiting to shake hands with the gifted 'Boz' (...) or an extract from Dickens letter to Washington Irving about Wilkins sister (p.p. 35 & 36) (...)". Provenance: the author (engr. bookplate tipped in at front). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XLV.
