MILLER, Henry

Journey to an Antique Land

First edition. 12mo. Stapled wrappers. One of 2000 copies. Fine. Inscribed by Miller to his second wife, June Mansfield: "For June -- All the best! Henry. 1/15/67." On the last page, under the concluding illustration, Miller has written: "Big Sur -- 1954 or '59 (?)." Enclosed in the original mailing envelope with Miller's stamped return address and hand addressed by the author to "Mrs. June E. Corbett" in Forest Hills, NY. Mansfield convinced Miller to write full time, and became the inspiration for most of his best known work, including Tropic of Cancer. After they parted ways in 1934, Miller remained friendly with her, and continued to forward his works to her for many decades to come. A splendid association.
