Peter Milton's Engravings for Henry James' "The Jolly Corner"

Twenty-one etchings by Peter Milton illustrate "The Jolly Corner" by Henry James.

This "Preferred Portfolio Edition" came out in 1971.

"The Jolly Corner" is a short story by Henry James published first in the magazine The English Review of December, 1908. One of James' most noted ghost stories, "The Jolly Corner" describes the adventures of Spencer Brydon as he prowls the now-empty New York house where he grew up. He encounters a "sensation more complex than had ever before found itself consistent with sanity."
