MANY A LITTLE MAKES A MICKLE. Tales Translated From the German

(Boston: Crosby, Nichols, and Company, 1860).

FIRST EDITION, RARE IN SUCH NICE CONDITION, and a charmingly illustrated collection of German fables. The collection is comprised of TRIFLES by Julie Ruhkopf; THE YOUNG TRAVELLERS by Trauermantel; THE IMIGRANTS and PRECEDENCE, both by Rosalie Koch; and THE BEGGER'S WILL by Dr. C. Deutsch.
The colour illustrations have a charming appeal that feels old fashion even for a book of the later 19th century. Item #32516

First edition, second printing. With six fine illustrations on plates in oil colour. Small 8vo, publisher's original olive cloth, the covers blocked in blind in an all-over floral motif, the spine lettered in gilt and pictorially decorated in gilt. 229 pp. An unusually bright and fresh copy, the text-block is near as pristine with no foxing whatsoever and just a hint of mild toning, the plates also clean and bright, the cloth very well preserved with just a little mild wear at the spine tips, a rare find in this condition.
