This diminuitive book holds the keys to the Burdick collection in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Burdick donated his massive ephemera collection to the Met over a period of years, spending an inordinate amount of time gluing it into binders and preparing it for viewing by the public in a controlled environment. He likely felt like each card in that collection was a work of art and what better place to house the collection than the Met. In order to help people find the actual binders they were looking for, the Met created this directory of the J.R. Burdick collection pamphlet. It's 5.5" x 8" in size and 30-40 pages in length printed on slick paper stock.
This copy is in EXMT condition and very clean.
