Birthday Book for Children by Kate Greenaway

Illustrated perpetual diary book, “Birthday Book for Children” by Kate Greenaway. The 382 illustrations are excellent, as is the condition, with some wear to the spine. There are end pages and 130 pages. The original boards are in good condition but there is separation of the front from part of the remainder. There are entries within the diary which make for interesting social history. It is published by George Routledge & Sons of London (Broadway, Ludgate Hill) and New York (416 Broome Street). Edmund Evans was the printer. Beige decorated cloth covers with bevelled edges. Turquoise endpapers. Handled with care this is a pleasing copy. Published around 1880. 100mm x 95mm.
