Harold Symmes Songs of Yosemite was originally published as a book in 1911, but in 1923 it was published as a soft-covered portfolio bearing lovely illustrations by the master watercolorist Gunnar Widforss. The portfolio contains twelve poems by Symmes and seven illustrations after Gunnar Widforss watercolors. An eighth Widforss illustration is tipped onto the front cover as a title page. Complete in its original box which bears still another Widforss illustration as a label, this illustration in tonal scale, rather than colored.
