Thomas Ollive Mabbott

Periodical

One page torn from the Union Square Bookshop catalogue, advertising a first edition of The Raven and Other Poems with Poe's marginalia. At the bottom of page 45 Mabbott has written: "Dear F.L.P. This is a good gamble—the hand is very like Poe's and the annotations give directions for reading the Raven. But would not swear to it. Ever yours T.O.M."
