Fisher, Hannah M.
Not given: the Ivy Press, [ 1930 ] .
Octavo (standard size) pamphlet attractively bound in dark blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Original covers bound in, along with unusual and attractive spider web-patterened tissue endpapers. Only slightly ex-library with a library Civil War collection bookplate on front pastedown endpaper and red stamp with similar information on title page of pamphlet. No other library marks. Slight wear to edges and covers of boards. 8 p. w/illustrated cover and a section on 2 Lincoln artifacts donated to the University that year. The two artifacts, a cane and a mallet, were carved from a walnut rail hewed by Abraham Lincoln and later brought into the Convention hall at his nomination in 1860. On a publishing note, Worldcat suggests that the Ivy press here noted is the one based in Portland Oregon. While there was a press there at that time by that name and another in Seattle, I find it hard to understand why a regional Oregon press would print a pamphlet for a Tennessee university without some tie between the two, which I have not found. I therefore think that this Ivy Press is one more local to Tennessee.
