As shown. See all photos. Belonged to my mother’s parents. Her dad wrote on cover in pencil, “have etchings by Bone and Briscoe.” True. The former just sold at auction.8” x 10” x .25” “Lakeside Press was a Chicago publishing imprint under which RR Donnelley Company produced fine books as well as mail order catalogs, telephone directories, encyclopedias and advertising. Best known for its supreme editions for the Chicago Caxton Club as well as the Lakeside Classics, a series of fine reprints. The printing plant, located along with company headquarters in the Lakeside Press Building on 22nd Street and Calumet Avenue, was closed in 1993, after which production moved to several other RRD plants. In 1929, the company opened the Lakeside Galleries on the eighth floor of their newly completed building on 22nd Street, near the shores of Lake Michigan. 1930 – 1961, the galleries devoted exhibitions to American and European artists.”
