Ex-libris RKO Studios Research Library, with the studio logo and inkstamp on the FEP and second flyleaf. Orson Welles’ inked signature at bottom of fep, and possibly a second time above -- the lower signature is clearly Welles -- the upper signature has indicial of Welles’s wide variety of signatures, but also some unfamiliar characteristics. One can only speculate on the connection -- but the presence of snow plays small but vital roles in both Citizen Kane and the Magnificent Ambersons and this, one of Whittier’s most famous poems is presented as a series of stories told by a family while sitting out a snowstorm. #### Condition. Good; corners and spine edges rubbed, chipping to upper spine; some soiling. Interior: RKO Studios logo and library ink stamp on fep and second flyleaf, with the former bearing Welles’ signature. Foxing to frontis and fly leaves; rest of the text block clean and tight.
