Heirlooms in Miniatures, by Anne Hollingsworth Wharton, with a Chapters on Miniature Painting by Emily Drayton Taylor.
Published 1898, Philadelphia & London by J.B. Lippincott Company.
259 pages. Text in English. Color frontis, heavily illustrated throughout w/ b&w plates.

Beautiful late 19th century American 1/2 leather binding, slightly raised & gilt bands, gilt compartment decorations, marbled covers & end papers, deckled edges, top edge gilt.

Book is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. 

Binding gently age worn but still appealing, leather and joints slightly rubbed with small scuff spots but still supple, tips of covers bumped, remains overall very attractive as an object. Gilt is bright, book is clean, tight, nice.

Text block paper is gently age toned as typical, internally book remains mostly clean, tight and sound. A book which has been taken care of but may/ does not look like new.

Still attractive on the shelf. Book displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in rather nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws seem easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detailed attempt to present this fine book as it survives. 

We often over-describe any flaws that many sellers would not even bother to mention since most people would overlook them as minor and unworthy of comment. Many people tell us the books they receive from us are nicer in person than they appears on the screen. We want you to be clear about what you are buying, so we take numerous photos and try to describe it openly and honestly.
