DONALD GRANT MITCHELL
The nineteenth-century author of Reveries of a Bachelor signs his name in black ink
Printed card signed in ink: "Don G. Mitchell" in black ink. 5x2¾ printed card. March 25, 1864. Donald Grant Mitchell (1822-1908), also known by his penname Ik Marvel, was the grandson of Revolutionary War-Era politician Stephen Mix Mitchell, who originally attended Yale College and studied law and even was a member of the Skull and Bones society, before ultimately deciding to study literature. After a brief stint as a U.S. consul in Venice, Italy (1853-1854), Mitchell wrote his most well-known work, Reveries of a Bachelor, or a Book of the Heart (1850) (which was one of Emily Dickinson's favorite books), which explores the dream-like lives Americans were living in at the time. His other works include Dream Life, a Fable of the Seasons (1851), My Farm of Edgewood (1863), About Old Story Tellers (1877), and American Lands and Letters (1897). Edges irregularly cut. Toned. Light surface creases. Otherwise, fine condition.
