Antique Scrapbook of Child Models including 79 Lithographs

A simply astounding collection of 79 separate lithographs from a family of models. Given as a Christmas gift from Nolita to Amherst circa 1902, it is in excellent condition! The lithographs that are dated are from 1894 to 1901 including several happy children, pets, parents and grandparents. Mostly black and white, with a few in color, many of these promotional ads were featured as supplements in the Los Angeles Sunday Herald Times. They include, but are not limited to holiday cards, religious themes, dungarees, Swift Premium Ham, Silver Leaf Lard, Atlantic City Boardwalk, bathing, dental hygiene, children's books illustrations, and child development. As you turn the pages, you see several of the same children. One is annotated with the children's names and the artist.

Some of the noted artists, publishers, and photographers include:

It is in overall excellent antique condition with only one print removed. I was limited to adding only 23 images, some with multiple lithos. Please let me know if you would like to see more photos, I will be happy to email them to you. The leather is very lightly worn around the edges where it appears to have once had a taped edge it measures approximately ten inches by eleven and one-half inches closed. The onion skin separating pages are all intact. The individual lithographs were lightly glued, so each could easily be removed for display if you chose to dismantle the collection.
