Miniature Library of 4 Books in Book Tray C.1838.
This is a fascinating and very attractive miniature library housed in a purpose made book tray dating to around 1838. The library comprises of 4 books:
- The Little Classic & Chronological Companion – 1836
- The Little Gazetteer or Geographical Dictionary – Maunder C.1838
- The Little Lexicon – Maunder – 1838
- The Little Linguist or a Complete Guide to English Philology – 1838
The books are all unfirmly bound in cloth boards and housed in an oak book tray that has a slight tramp art look to it. I can find no other examples of all 4 books together as a library. Given the dates I assume some to be first editions. The tray is 16.5cm x 10.5cm
Condition.
The condition is fair. There are some condition issues with the binding. The boards and in some cases the spines are starting to come away from the binding. I assume that Little Classic and Little Gazzetter once had frontispieces. The Little Lexicon is missing both front and back boards, there is a board present, but seems a little too big for the book.
