Published 1875
James R. Osgood and Company, Publisher/Boston

A charming and evocative 1875 edition of Child Life in Prose, edited by the beloved American poet John Greenleaf Whittier. Richly illustrated and elegantly bound in terra-cotta cloth with gilt and black stamped designs, this volume captures the literary and moral spirit of Victorian childhood.

What makes this copy particularly special is the original 19th-century calling card found tucked inside the pages—bearing the name Miss Thilda Anne Hellman. A rare and personal artifact of the period, the card provides a tangible connection to a young woman who once held this very book in her hands.

Victorian binding. Beveled boards. Gilt illustrated detail to front board. Gilt lettering to front board spine. Black stamped detail. Gilt to all page edges. Illustrated throughout. Binding tight. Light wear to edges/corners. 301pp.

A meaningful acquisition for collectors of:
    •    Victorian literature
    •    Whittier works
    •    Ephemera and provenance-rich books
