Photocopy

This document is the second of two photocopies of a brochure reproducing E.A. Poe's 1848 autograph manuscript of "The Raven," as published by Yale University Library on Poe's 150th birthday. The original brochure is also in Mabbott's research file on "The Raven." The annotation on this photocopy reads: "Owned by Richard Gimbel - who recently issued a facsimile | Complete MS." The "R" on the photocopy refers to this manuscript's place in Mabbott's alphabetical-chronological sequence of the poem's printings (or, in this case, manuscript instantiations).
