Beschreibung

Twentry-three little 32mo volumes (4 5/8 by 3 inches). All are religious, moralizing tales; eight start with Bible stories. Each is illustrated with several wood engravings. No authors are named. Bradley & Woodruff, successor to Ira Bradley, and predecessor to A.I. Bradley, existed as a Boston imprint between 1890 and 1893. One of these little volumes is published by Ira Bradley, so before 1890. Each is in red cloth boards, decorated in black with an "Aesthetic Period" design of leafy branches and a geometric border. Gilt titling to spines. Except for The Pastor's Lambkins, which is missing the ffep and has a loose hinge, all are very good to near fine, with occasional light soil. A complete list of titles is available upon request. A few samples: The Discontented Girl: Are You Like Georgy?; Little Dutchman's Cap; The Old Herb Woman; The Little Truant; How Fanchette Envied a Fine Lady; The Wise Men and Wicked Herod; Cain and Abel and Other Stories. A rare collection, and an interesting chapter in Boston publishing history. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 010897
