A Visit from St. Nicholas (The Night Before Christmas)

Reprint and facsimile traps dominate this title. Onderdonk reused the Boyd cuts in The Evergreen (December 1849) and rights passed to Spalding & Shepard for their own 1849 chapbook of the poem (New York, 1849) — same cuts, different imprint. Dover Publications reproduced the 1848 edition in 1971, and a ca. 1919 "reprint of the first [sic] publication" of the Troy Sentinel text (held at the Library of Congress) is routinely mistaken for the 1823 original. Anything not a sixteen-page wrappered chapbook bearing the Henry M. Onderdonk 1848 New York imprint is a later issue or a facsimile.
