1885WRCLIT66997New York & London: G.P. Putnam's Sons 1885. Quarto. Publisher's mauve cloth heavily decorated in gilt and blind untrimmed. Plates and illustrations. Minor speckling to the cloth sizing at the extreme foretips some foxing early and late and occasionally to a few margins of plates institutional bookplate on pastedown otherwise about fine and bright in faintly hand-smudged printed dust jacket with some offsetting to the lower panel from the rather battered publisher's box. The "Zuyder-Zee Edition" limited to 600 numbered copies of which this is one of 250 copies on untrimmed Linen paper. However this copy is at variance with the colophon in that it is accompanied by the extra suite of ten mounted etchings specially printed on satin that was to accompany the first 25 copies rather than the two sets of ordinary impressions associated with this middle issue. The corners of the mats are a bit bumped and worn and one of the etchings is a bit foxed otherwise the suite is in very good order in the chipped remnants of the original printed paper wrapper also bearing a bookplate. This deluxe edition features original etchings some in Japon proof state by and photogravures after the likes of Pennell Gifford Vanderhoof Colman et al. The jacket is not among those selected examples of 19th century jackets cited by Tanselle. G.P. Putnam's Sons hardcover books

16536Autograph album given to female student in Walnut Hill KY. The Forget Me Not Album. New York: Published by Leavitt & Allen 1857. Original red leather boards. 8 ½ x 7 in. Embossed front and back cover gilt-edge pages and gilt detail on front cover and spine. 48 pages. Includes 4 portrait engravings under tissue of ladies identified as Nanette The Duke's Daughter Beatrice Katharina; as well as 1 engraving on the title page. Inscribed to Miss Virginia Holby on the front end page "as a reward of merit." Includes 17 other handwritten inscriptions from fellow students. Some foxing and toning on engraving pages. Very good condition. <br/><br/>Signature album kept by young woman Virgina Holby during the end of the 1857 school year. All of the inscriptions are dated to June 1857 as the academic year was coming to a close and students were dispersing for the summer. Virginia's classmates affectionately address her as "Jennie" throughout the album and while some write poetic verses such as "Forget me not Forget me never till yonder sun shall set forever" others leave a simple "good bye" or requests to "Write me first would you." Jennie's classmates signed their names along with their respective hometowns--some places hundreds of miles away from Walnut Hill--in Illinois or western Kentucky. At this time in the southern United States it was not uncommon for girls and young women from wealthier classes to be sent away to private institutions modeled after the English finishing school. Secondary and higher education became a symbol of class as poor or working class people could not afford this training. An album of quotes and well-wishes amongst female classmates in June 1857 as they were dispersing for the summer months. unknown books
