About This Item
Philadelphia: Charles J. Peterson, 1844. First Edition . Hardcover. Good+. The original bound volume, good plus in a fine new binding by Milagro of Corrales, of green cloth with beautiful marbled endpapers. Originally a companion to Graham's Magazine, and run by 2 of its most important editors, in later years it became Peterson's after the departure of Ann Stephens. It featured many of the best woman writers of the day, most of whom are now forgotten; the best contributions may be those by the editors. Illustrated with many engravings including some very striking mezzotints, colored embroidery patterns, and the famous fashion plates, of which 4 here are hand-colored. There is also a nice hand-colored plate of a rose. Some of the plates are still fairly white; some have toned to brow, and some are foxed. Foxing is minimal in the text except where adjacent to plates. There is an occasional waterstain.
