About this Item
An early Boston Imprint, essentially identical to the first. With engraved frontispiece, pictorially illustrated title-page, engraved plate by John Hyde-Del, and with engraved initials and headpieces throughout. Small 8vo, in the publisher's bright blue textured cloth, the upper cover with gilt vignette and lettering within a blind embossed boarder, the spine with decorative gilt lettering. 129 pp. A especially fine copy, unusually so. Children's books and American printings from this era, are rarely if ever found in such condition. The cloth is bright and fresh and as close to pristine as could be hoped, the text-block is clean and fresh without so much as a single spot to be found. VERY SCARCE ANY OF THE ORIGINAL EARLY IMPRINTS ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND, AND UNHEARD OF IN THIS CONDITION. OCLC lists only one copy of this issue in institutional collections. The story of a little orphan girl whose demeanor suggests a royal heritage. Her secret to winning over those who disdain the poor is her faith in a God who watches over the motherless. The author wrote many novels of German home life, many of which were for children. Strong religious themes run throughout most of her writing, as can be seen here in A QUEEN. Seller Inventory # 32574
