Phillips Brooks was an influential 19th-century American clergyman and author, famously known for penning the lyrics to the Christmas hymn O Little Town of Bethlehem. This miniature pocket edition, published around the late 1890s by H.M. Caldwell and Company, features a stunningly detailed Victorian cover with an intricate cream oval medallion surrounded by red floral accents and silver-toned filigree. It makes an exquisite display piece for a tiered book stack, a Victorian-themed vanity, or an archival library collection.
