Poems. A New Edition (1881), proof Signature A (Delaware Museum, pages i-iv, corrected revise)

The proof is a revise made from the corrected author's proof for these four pages.

DGR revised the initial proofs for the front matter for this book twice. In addition to this revise proof for pages i-iv, the Delaware Art Museum library has the corrected author's copy for these pages. It also preserves four other partial sets of early proofs for this signature where one can track DGR's successive acts of revision, plus one complete final proof . The library has two copies (both partial) of the first author's proof, copy 1 and copy 2, both with corrections, and two partial copies of the first revise, copy 1 and copy 2, both also with revisions. The Princeton Library has two further fragmentary proofs for ths signature, both corrected pages for the revise proof: copy 1 and copy 2.
