From the library of Chauncey Lawrence Williams with his bookplate mounted on the front pastedown. The bookplate is by New York artist George R. Halm [1850-1899].

Chauncey Lawrence Williams, a prominent Chicago businessman and social figure, was a partner, with W. Irving Way, in Way & Williams, the publishing firm that issued L. Frank Baum's first book "Mother Goose in Prose" in 1897. Williams, who was originally from Wisconsin, was a friend and classmate of Frank Lloyd Wright and in 1893 commissioned Wright to design his home, the Chauncey Williams House in River Forest, Illinois. Way & Williams was a short-lived company, but Williams was also associated with other projects to promote high-quality printing, including the Caxton Club, and the Auvergne Press, which he founded.
