1903 Up-to-To-morrow, or Mr Chumson's Experiments

Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

The first edition of this very scarce collection about Mr. Chumson's comically ill-conceived futuristic inventions.

A contemporary review in The Mercury, published in November 1903, termed this work a 'bunch of brightly written short stories of the inventions and experiments of Mr. Silas K. Chumson, who, not satisfied with being "up-to-date", wants to be "up-to-to-morrow"'.

Illustrated throughout, with a frontispiece and numerous vignette illustrations from the author, F. Holmes, R. Brownley and others.

With a thirty-two page publisher's catalogue to the rear, dated March 1903.

The binding of the work gives the title incorrectly; while the title of the work is 'Up-to-To-morrow', the front board reads and spine read 'Up To-Morrow'.
