Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition, Special Edition. TWAIN, Mark. Is He Living or Is He Dead? In World's Fair Number of The Cosmopolitan: An Illustrated Monthly Magazine, Vol. XV, No. 5. New York: Cosmopolitan Publishing Company, September 1893. First appearance of Mark Twain's Is He Living or Is He Dead?, pp. 629-634, illustrated by Alice Barber Stephens. Tall octavo, pp. [513]-640. Original decorated paper wrappers, with numerous halftone photographs and line illustrations throughout; fore-edge and lower edge rough cut, with numerous period advertisements. The September 1893 World's Fair Number of The Cosmopolitan is largely devoted to the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Twain's satirical story mocks the art market's tendency to neglect artists during their lifetimes while inflating their reputations after death, imagining a comic scheme in which the painter Jean-François Millet feigns his own death in order to increase the value of his work. Also contains former U.S. President Benjamin Harrison's Points of Interest; an installment of William Dean Howells's A Traveller from Altruria; Franz Boas's Ethnology at the Exposition; and contributions by others. Contents generally clean and unmarked; evenly toned. Wrappers toned, with small chips and edgewear. Binding remains sound and square. Complete in original wrappers. Very Good-.
