Aggiungi al carrelloGeorge Arnold (1834-1865) was a writer of poetry and journalism during the mid-19th century. He gained a reputation as a humorist, writing under the name ÒMcAroneÓ for The Saturday Press, Vanity Fair, and Weekly Review. Arnold was a frequent customer at PfaffÕs Beer Cellar, a bar in New York City which was popular among writers,… including Walt Whitman. His poem ÒBeer,Ó an introspective poem about drinking beer, appears in three sections in the present work. One sheet, folded twice to make 8 pp. ÒBeerÓ I, II, and III printed on rectos. Newsprint edition. Tan paper with minor chipping to lower corner. Text printed in black and olive green. Small tears to tail and 1.5 in. tear to lower hinge. Damp stain to lower corner. Very good copy of a fragile item. Also published in an issue on alcidine paper, limited to 24 copies. Ritchie printed both issues at the Abbey of San Encino Press. The alcidine paper edition is of course scarcer, but even this newsprint issue is becoming uncommon. Ritchie Bibliography, p. 127.
