Nice lot of ten 19th century children’s books. All in original publishers decorated cloth, gilt lettered spines, some bindings pictorial.
All remain attractive and worthy of ownership, light overall general age wear, some small fraying or loss to spine ends of a couple, one lacks free endpapers with cracked hinges, but all are complete, text blocks mostly sound, tight, nice shelf appearance individually or as a lot.
