Scattered mild foxing to pages, scattered chipping, and surface loss, with a fragile front and back cover and spine, otherwise, in very good condition given the age of the book. (1856-1915) Elbert Green Hubbard was an American writer, publisher, artist, and philosopher. Raised in Hudson, Illinois, he had early success as a traveling salesman for the Larkin Soap Company. Hubbard is known best as the founder of the Roycroft artisan community in East Aurora, New York, an influential exponent of the Arts and Crafts movement. Among Hubbard's many publications were the fourteen-volume work Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great and the short publication A Message to Garcia. He and his second wife, Alice Moore Hubbard, died aboard the RMS Lusitania when it was sunk by a German submarine off the coast of Ireland on May 7, 1915. Comes with a full Letter of Authenticity from Todd Mueller Authentics and a second COA from RR Auctions.
