Our Island Saints | Amy Steedman & M. Dibdin SpoonerCharming, early 20th century antique book about saints from the United Kingdom told for children, written by Amy Steedman with several full color illustrations by M. Dibdin Spooner. First published in 1912: This one is undated but there is a gift inscription dated 1924; I presume this is a later edition published closer to that date. Condition is good overall with some fading to the lettering on the spine.

which I love

Condition is good with wear and tanning to the labels consistent with age

I saw one of these at a favorite French dealer’s shop several years ago and it’s been living rent free in my head ever since

deck is complete with instructions and looks unused

It’s very Lacroix

Sometimes they are framed with things like flowers

This rare Victorian box in the shape of a book is made solely of paper & glass

Early Victorian black and white engraving of a maiden holding a tender rose

wear to the red surface of the leather around the edges & corners

As expected from a time when child mortality & childbirth rates were extremely high

Refer to photos for size and condition: Good overall

The mask is life size with its original fabric ties still attached
