A rare picture book published in 1882, over 140 years ago. With delicate, print-like illustrations, this work will be enjoyed by those who appreciate the atmosphere of Ida Waugh, Monvel, and German picture books from around 1900. Each page has a color illustration, and the colors and composition of each page are wonderful, a true feast for the eyes♡ The actual book is even more beautiful than the photos, with the texture of the printing and paper that have aged over 140 years♡ How about a gift for a loved one, or for yourself? As an antique item, you won't often come across the same one. If you're interested, please do! The front endpaper is missing, and the cover has scratches, damage, loose binding, a split in the spine, stains, and yellowing. There are no tears or graffiti, and the overall condition is well-preserved. 20cm x 25cm. Thickness 1cm. 64 pages. Hardcover. As well as for a picture book collection, the cover is also lovely, so it can be displayed as interior decor or used as a photo prop. It would also be wonderful to cut out the illustrations one by one and frame them. You can also use them for crafts such as junk journals, collages, and sharing files♡ It has come from afar, across the sea, through many years. It was originally handled by children and read over and over again, so there are some tears and stains. We ask for your purchase if you understand antiques and vintage items. #ForeignBooks #Monvel #WalterCrane #WalterCrane #KateGreenaway #Monvel #Lemair #Nister #HariettBennett #ErnestNister #England #Victorian #Victorian #Antique #Vintage #PictureBook #Illustration #Illustration #FleaMarket #OldDocuments #OldBooks #JunkJournal #PaperGoods #SharingFiles #CopperplatePrinting #Chromolithograph
