Lot Description
WELTY, Eudora (1909-2001). Delta Wedding. New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1946.
8vo. Publisher's gray cloth stamped in purple; original dust jacket (very slight rubbing to front flap fold and spine panel, otherwise bright). Provenance: Stuart [Wright?] (presentation inscription, see below).
FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED BY WELTY: "To Stuart from Eudora with best wishes." A pencilled note indicates that "Stuart" was Welty's "small press publisher," presumably Stuart Wright. Wright started the Palaemon Press in Winston-Salem North Carolina, which printed limited editions of the works of Eudora Welty and other Southern writers.
Property from the Collection of Robert S. Brown, Cincinnati, Ohio
