amish moving day

i love this book...i forgot to photograph a charming bookplate too. the 3 color silkscreen illustrations are lovely. the book is letterpress in its entirety, even the illustrations...which appear to be first letterpress and then silkscreened (although here it is recorded that they are 4 color engravings, hmmm). all in all wonderful, and i'm glad to have it.

collections

another collection, this time just two...they are linked because of their gilded spines, they are both victorian and both were published by thomas y. crowell & co., as well as, a snazzy illustrated cover page with tissue separator. they are both lovely books, particularly l'avril which i think is letterpress, and has beautiful illustrations throughout. it's also in top notch condition.
