Description

Although the Daniels began distributing their books through commercial booksellers in the 1880s, they continued to sell copies directly to customers as well. This copy of Robert Bridges’s play, The Feast of Bacchus (1889), is accompanied by a receipt dated May 30, 1890, from Daniel to the buyer, Frederic Parker Morrell, for 10 shillings. Two months later, the edition was completely sold out.
