“One would suppose that the superbly inlaid written folio leaf which is the mark of the Manuscript Thoreau was sufficient novelty, even for a limited edition bound in dull forest tints of Levant and marbled paper, as if for a faun's library, but the frontispieces, flower photographs, taken on the very book leaf present an entirely new species of illustrations.” – “Beauties of the 'Manuscript Edition' of Thoreau”, New York Times, 3 Mar 1906
