Signed book: Big Game Hunting in the Rockies and on the Great Plains. First edition, limited issue, numbered 60/1000. NY: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1899. Hardcover in the damaged original full leather binding with decorative gilt bear illustrations in corners, 8.25 x 11.25, 476 pages. Neatly signed below the frontispiece three-quarter-length portrait of Roosevelt in his Rough Rider uniform in crisp ink, "Theodore Roosevelt." Autographic condition: fine. Book condition: G-/None, with the textblock and endpapers detached entirely from the binding, minor dampstaining to edges of opening pages, and a stain to the colophon; remarkably, the frontispiece is largely unaffected. An ideal candidate expert rebinding or disassembly and framing, as it boasts an exceptional signed portrait of the rough-riding Roosevelt.
Accompanied by an 'autographed edition' of The Long Trail by Kermit Roosevelt, published by The Metropolitan Magazine in 1921, signed on the colophon in fountain pen by the president's son, Kermit Roosevelt.
