Stevenson (Robert Louis) Prince Otto: A Romance, first edition, presentation copy signed by the author on half-title, 32pp. publisher's catalogue at end dated September 1885, small stain to first few ff., some leaves toned, hinges becoming weak, original decorative cloth, upper cover slightly cockled, corners bumped, spine ends rubbed, preserved in modern red morocco slip-case, 8vo, 1885.

⁂ Inscribed "To Bertha from Louis, September 20th 1886". We have been unable to identify the recipient - Bertha Baker owned the lodging house where Stevenson stayed when he came to Saranac Lake, New York but that was not until 1887; Bertha and Fred Goudy ran the Village Press which printed books including poems by Stevenson, but again at a later date to the inscription.
