Search Results: biography from Anne's Books

Beautiful small volume of Benjamin Franklin's autobiography published in Philadelphia in 1895 (not on title page or verso). Green cloth cover boards with large Art Nouveau lily design; spine bumped and faded, lower corners bumped and worn, pages tight. Worst defect is that the frontispiece is detached but present, as shown; it has large black and white etching of Franklin and could be tipped in. 288 pgs plus 34 pg publisher's advertising lists. Some foxing on back inside cover, some soiling, previous owner's name on inside front cover, gilt lettering on cover worn off.
