2 books, each 16 pages counting covers Text in English. Illustrated throughout.

Publisher's small folio color lithographed pictorial linen covers, books printed completely in chromolithography on linen.

Lot is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Lot is not new or in "new" condition.

Bindings heavily and well age worn from youthful readers, each remains overall attractive as an object.

Paper is toned, various edge splits or curled corners, scuffing, soiling, rusty staples, etc. Little Soldier book has a .25" split/ nick into the bottom edge of the text block, centerfolds in both are detached, etc. Perhaps perfect books for breaking and using the nice color plates.

Still attractive on the shelf. The lot displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in overall nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws which may be present seem easy to overlook or forgive.
