This specific volume measures 8 1/4" by 6" and features a stunning decorative cover with an embossed illustration of a medieval-style woman and a hawk, characteristic of the era's high-quality binding. Inside, the book is filled with richly detailed illustrations and "Seed-Eating Songbirds" plates that made this anthology a household treasure. Whether you are a collector of Victorian-style children's books or a decorator looking for a piece with "shelf soul," this hardcover volume offers both historical significance and artistic charm. It is perfect for an antique nursery display, a vintage teacher gift, or as a focal point in a historical home library.
This item is antique, over 115 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition for its age, there are spots on the outside and some separation at the spine in the front as noted. There is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
