About this Item

4 1/2 X 6 1/2 Inches. 28 PP. Original circa 1918 handmade WWI children's book. Includes 26 full page plates of American soldiers in various wartime positions. Each depiction accompanied by an affixed hand-typed rhyming description on the verso. Wrapped in fringed cloth likely cut from an article of issued clothing. A "Sammie" (or Sammy) was the nickname given to American soldiers during WWI by their British counterparts. The name derived from the soldiers provided by good ole Uncle Sam. Each page originally bound with a strip of cloth tape which is now defunct (so pages are loose). Cloth starting to pull away from rear and some fraying at edges. A very interesting book that is as much folk art as it is military antique. Seller Inventory # 6741

You see, Mike has two great loves in his professional life - American History & Pop Culture of the late 20th Century. Back in Time is a member of the Florida Antiquarian Booksellers Association (FABA) as well as the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America (ABAA).
