Kendall Banning
1971 - Alan and Savina Hartwell, New York - One of 1000 privately printed copies.
A beautifully produced collection of 12 recipes, which is now scarce.
Taken from a work which was allegedly ‘found’ by Kendall Banning, the great grandson of the old Squire Calvin, in a moth eaten hair trunk in grandmother’s attic in Connecticut. Said to be dated 1784, and giving the twelve most famous toddies that distinguished his hospitality, it was in fact a hoax he had written himself, printed on old paper that he had stained with coffee, and trampled upon to give semblance of age, and in 1912 he printed a small run at the lakeside press in Chicago for his friends.
