JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND
The editor of Scribner's Monthly signs in his real name and his famous pen name, Timothy Titcomb
Autograph sentiment signed: "Yours truly/J.G. Holland/Timothy Titcomb", 4¼x1½ slip attached to 6x4 card. Josiah Gilbert Holland (1819-1881, also known as Timothy Titcomb) is the author of Arthur Bonnicastle, The Story of Sevenoaks and Nicholas Mintum, among many others. From its founding in 1869 to the end of his life, Holland partnered with Charles Scribner as the editor of the famous Scribner's Monthly. The beginning of Holland's career was troubled with business misadventures, unsuccessfully running his own periodical and medical practice before finding employment as a teacher. Yet once he gave up his medical practice and returned to West Massachusetts, his luck changed for him. The 1870's was a productive decade for Holland, who published his most famous novels during that time, including The Mistress and the Manse (1874). His last novel, The Puritan's Guest (1881) was published the year he died. Lightly creased and toned. Pencil note (unknown hand) on verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
