A striking and highly collectible 1925 first edition and first printing of The Traitor by Harry K. Thaw, the controversial memoir recounting the infamous Stanford White murder trial—one of the most sensational true crime cases in early 20th-century American history.
This edition features the iconic pink and black illustrated dust jacket, interior photographic plates, and period illustrations. The book was suppressed for years by the Thaw family, making early printings especially desirable among collectors of true crime, American history, and vintage graphic dust jackets.
