To the Faithful Charles Lamb
[Ysleta]: Edwin B. Hill, 1923. First edition, unknown limitation. Broadside, 19x13cm. Fine condition.
A quite interesting broadside from a bibliographic standpoint, and we posit one of if not the first piece printed by Hill in Ysleta. This printing differs in size and paper from the Myers Myers entry for this title, number 45, which Hill published as "Broadside One" in 1928. At the bottom of this broadside is printed "Press of Edwin B. Hill . February 25, 1884-1923," giving a very solid indication that he at least began printing in 1884, 3 years before the first Myers entry. This would make sense as he acquired his first press in 1882 via a trade. It also may indicate this precedes the 1924 entry in Myers, being the first in the Ysleta period. Item #5615
