Very first appearance of Walt Whitman's poem "Orange Buds by Mail from Florida"...



Item # 683733

March 19, 1888

NEW YORK HERALD, March 19, 1888  Page 4 has a brief poem titled: "Orange Buds by Mail from Florida" signed in block type: WALT WHITMAN .
This is the very first appearance of this poem as verified by the Walt Whitman Archive, significant as such.  It would later appear in his noteworthy compilation "Leaves of Grass".
Complete in 10 pages, light toning, more so at the edges, loose at the spine, a few small holes not close to the Whitman content, margin tears. Rather fragile and must be handled carefully.
