1850-1870 CHILDREN'S DEVOTION. Attractive Group of 19 Period Children's Devotional Works
Wonderful assemblage of 19 1850's-1870's children's devotional works, tracts, and chapbooks from a period Sunday School Library. Not in pristine condition, but attractive, quite nice on the shelf, wonderful material, and some rather rare titles in the mix.
Wonderful piece of meaningful decor for the antiques or shabby chic driven interior.
