1858 Nannie's Jewel-Case or True Stones and False | Victorian Children's Book | Hand-Colored Plates
A charming and increasingly scarce example of mid-19th century American juvenile literature, published in Boston in 1858 and preserved in its original decorative publisher's cloth binding. Nannie's Jewel-Case, or True Stones and False contains moral and educational tales translated from the German works of Julie Ruhkopf and August Moritz.
The volume features attractive hand-colored illustrations and retains its original embossed red cloth binding with gilt decoration to the spine. Particularly appealing is the contemporary gift inscription dated Christmas 1867, offering a glimpse into the book's life during the Victorian era.
