About This Item
1890. Hardcover. Good. Clarence H. Wickham and his wife Edith Farwell McGrath Wickham owned these books.
Clarence was a prominent industrialist who made innovations in envelope production:
"After the war, he took a position at the Plimpton Manufacturing Company in Hartford, where he developed an admirable reputation and fortune due to his many inventions that allowed the production of a machine which made stamped envelopes so cheaply that they were able to keep federal government contracts from 1874 to 1907. For thirty-three years all the stamped envelopes used by the United States government were made by the Wickham machines." (Freepages.rootsweb.com)
Books are in good condition with intact hinges and solid bindings. Some minor wear to the edges. Bright insides and clean illustrations with tissue papers.
Let me know if you have any questions or if you desire more photos. Thank you.
