18997503Boston: F.M. Porter Co 1899. Quarto stapled in wrappers 24 x 17.5 cm. 80 pages; 1 plate. Illustrated black & white and chromolithograph plate. Advertising. FIRST EDITION. The "Official catalog musical program list of exhibitors" for this fourth congress of members of the Boston Retail Grocers Association. The association was founded in 1881 and held its first food fair that year. Photographic portraits of the senior members of the Association are included as is a description of Miss Nellie Dot Ranche of Chicago who was brought in for the occasion to run the Domestic Science Programs. It's interesting that the committee reached out to the Midwest at this moment when Cooking Schools in Boston were on the rise and very visible. The copious advertising displays a range of categories of goods one would find in a grocery of the turn of the 19th century: coffee cocoa mustard Havana cigars root beer Ceylon tea French Coca Wine virgin olive oil nut meats and salt as well as household goods including: thread collars washing liquids bluing ink. Also represented are goods and services aimed at the grocers and retailers: boxes and bags promotional printing specialized contracting refrigeration etc. Tiny bit of spotting to green and gold-printed gray wrappers otherwise fine.

005786London etc.: Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd. First edition. Hardcover. Paper pastedown on boards of medium strength card. Cloth spine. . Very Good. Scarce with no copies on OCLC First Search. N.d. circa 1910s. Reference to Queen Alexandra when she clearly was already a dowager queen and attire depicted consistent with the teens. Oblong 4to 24 by 33 cm. Unpaginated eighteen pages of narrative including insides of cover. Twelve of the pages are full color plates the remaining pages of the narrative are black white and red. Plus front and rear cover are in full color. The book tells not so much a story as much as the various events that might occur in the life of children from afffluent families residing in the idyllic countryside or by a immaculately groomed park -- goat-drawn cart rides playing with model ships flying a kite an afternoon tea etc. It is a world with nannies nurses pet dogs cats and gentle domestic farm animals. We believe that the book might have been issued while the First World War was underway for it offers up a reassuring escapism and there is one page entitled "The Tiny Army" showing little girls playing with a cavalry of toy wheeled stick horses but this is content that could plausibly have predated or followed the war as well. The illustrations have a winsome dream-like simplicity. One can see echoes of the Queen Anne style of book illustration epitomized by Walter Crane's output. Thus the appeal of the book would have been at least as strong for adults wistful for "a more innocent time". Condition: red cloth spine with rubbing and a few pinprick holes and closed tearing along the edge. Moderate amount of soiling to the boards. A faint inscription on the front cover. <br/><br/> Raphael Tuck & Sons, Ltd. hardcover books
