It includes NYPL's bookplate of "Arthur A. Schomburg Negro Collection," no NYPL's perforated stamp or ink stamp, and has no early processing marking of the original collection. It may have been treated and rebound in navy cloth over boards library binding with additional blank pages at the back; and gilt spine.
