These are some more finds that I came across. These are also childrens books but not reproduction. The animal books belonged to my grandfather when he was a small child, awarded to him at The Nook Sunday School, one in 1903 and the other in 1901. (The Nook is a small town in North West Tasmania). The Kate Greenaway book does not have an inscription so I am not sure who it belonged to but I think my mum told me it was my grandmothers. They are not in very good condition but I love them and cherish them so these are definite Finds...(sorry the photos ended up cut off when I used the Flickr mosaic tool could have redone it but...if you click on the photo you will get an enlarged version and will show more detail)
These are great, Dawn. I love the beasts cover; pity about the flash. Must be exciting discovering old stuff like this.
ReplyDeleteYes,I clicked on the pic so I could see the enlarged version and it is much clearer. This is a great idea Dawn - such precious old books captured this way so we can all appreciate them.
