SALE “School Pictures” Book of Children’s Religious Stories

Books : Children's

 

This little children’s book is titled “School Pictures, Drawn from Life”. The book is a publication of the Religious Tract Society in London. There is no copyright date but I would estimate it was published in the later 1800s.

There is a gift inscription on the endpaper: “Presented to Luellah Holsapple by F. Carrie McLaughlin, Teacher”. There is a color plate illustration opposite the title page, and small black-and-white illustrations at the beginning and end of each of the nine stories.

The book has dark red cloth-covered hard-cover boards printed in black. There is a small pasted pictorial in the center of the front cover, and the title is edged in gilt.

The book is in good condition, with only some shelf wear at the top and bottom of the spine, and wear at the corners. The sewn binding is tight. One of the pages has been bound slightly crookedly and creased.

The book contains 62 pages, and includes a list of 29 other books printed by the Society. It measures approximately 4 by 6 inches.

This book will be protectively packaged and shipped in a box by first class mail, including postal insurance within the US. Insurance may be declined if not desired.
