Vintage Rare 1890 TEETOTALER DICK Temperance Story Thomas Knox

Description: This vintage book from 1890 by Thomas W. Knox is a rare find for collectors of literature and fiction. The hardcover binding and original print make it a valuable addition to any collection, while the illustrations by Helen P. Strong add a touch of charm to the story of Teetotaler Dick. The book was printed in New York by Ward & Drummond and is in its original form with no personalization. It is a must-have for those interested in the temperance story and the history of North America. This book is a story of the horrors of in-temperance and the fight to educate people of the advantages of abstinence from alcoholism. The time of this writing takes place around the turn of the century. The place is in the New England states. Amazing illustrations by Helen P. Strong who was a popular illustrator and photographer for forty years. Book is in very good condition for being 104 years old. No visible signs of damage usually caused by a book of this age. It does have an owner’s stamp on inside front cover and writing on right inside front page. I have left what looks like a library card attached to inside front page. Card shows name, the date of out and date of in both in 1944. Page 330 through 334 has very small nicks but does nothing to the integrity of text. Rest of book is free of any marks, tears, creases or markings. Binding is tight with all pages attached, and text is complete looking almost like new. Gold leaf on books front and spine also in excellent condition. PLEASE SEE ALL PHOTOS to further inspect the amazing condition of this rare book. Offered from a pet and smoke free private collection (book has been preserved in my personal home library for over 50 years).
