London, Canada: The Mallagh Bookshop, Booksellers and Publishers, 1909. First of this edition. With 'Peeps at Many Lands' blind-stamped on the upper board. 8vo., orig. full red suede, with a blind-stamped coat-of-arms on the upper cover, gilt letter on upper cover and spine, Name, a bit of rubbing but in fact a near fine copy of a scarce imprint.
With the label of 'M.J. F. Mallagh, Books & Stationery, London, Ont.' on the lower corner of the front pastedown. A curious production as we have not encountered this bookseller?s imprint previously, nor have we seen editions of this work with imprints other than Macmillan or A. & C. Black. However, Voila notes 3 locations of this edition with the Mallagh imprint, with the sheets 'printed by Billings and Sons, Guilford'. Curiously, Voila also notes 4 locations of another issue with the imprint of a Winnipeg Bookshop, 'Russell Lang', also dated 1909.
