Profusely illustrated monthly journal aimed at domestic women in America in the middle of the 19th century.

Binding a bit rubbed and age worn from handling, small chipping at spine head, joints cracked but holding well, overall still sound, tight, and mostly clean. Attractive looking book. Minor flaws to contents, some page corners bent, minor small scattered soiling or spotting, never anything offensive or severe.

Entirely acceptable if not nice looking example in an attractive original period binding.
