What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding
An illustrated edition of British novelist William Makepeace Thackeray's Christmas themed poem, which first appeared in Punch Magazine in 1847. The publisher's preface explains that this poem was 'a welcome addition to the Christmas literature of Christmas-loving English people', and is here published for American audiences to raise their Christmas spirits.
This charming edition, featuring an inlaid wood panel to the front board, is illustrated throughout and features an illustrated title page from Frank Thayer Merrill, an American artist best remembered for his 1880 illustrations of Louisa May Alcott's 'Little Women'.
With the bookplate of the Pottsville Free Public Library to the front pastedown, and a small number of library stamps to further pages.
