A Child's Life of Christ.
Published 1899, Philadelphia by Henry Altemus.
196 pages. Text in English. With 33 illustrations. Publisher's catalogue at rear.

Original pictorial dust jacket, very scarce thus. Binding remains in almost like-new condition- clean, tight, and sound. Dust jacket edge chipped, small archival tape repairs along joints, still largely clean and in amazing condition given the fragility of it.

Interior contents display a pleasing age patina, largely free of age spotting.

Early owner's gift inscription. Owner's stamp: Clarence H. Wilcox.

Book remains well preserved and attractive on the shelf. It displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in nice antiquarian condition, the age flaws easy to overlook or forgive.
