About this Item

The Golden Wedding: Joseph Taylor, Rebecca W. Taylor, October 15, 1868. Privately Printed. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co., 1868. Inscribed by Joseph & Rebecca Taylor, All album photos present and intact, post-card of Cedarcroft included with purchase, 32 pp, 7 x 5.5", 12mo. In fair condition. Cloth boards scuffed at edges and worn at corners. Head of spine lacking, cloth & binding exposed. Tail of spine collapsed. Gilt deco on spine's head and tail dulled, but still noticeable. Gilt medallion on front board bright and clean. Ex-library ink stamp found on front paste-down: Private Library of Walter L. Grayson, Kennett Square, Pa. Inscription found on front fly-leaf: Anna Monaghan, from her friends Joseph + Rebecca W. Taylor. Front gutter at inscribed fly-leaf split at head with exposed cording. Title page's gilt lettering dulled, but still presents well. Moderate foxing to preliminary pages around album photos. Normal toning throughout text-block. Binding is intact, front hinge fragile. Post-card is lightly scuffed at edges and corners; illustration dulled, but still presents well. Please see photos and ask questions, if any, before purchasing. Joseph Taylor (1795-1885) & Rebecca Way Taylor (1799-1890) were the parents of Bayard Taylor (1825-1878), an American poet, literary critic, translator, travel author, and diplomat. This privately published work celebrates the Golden Wedding, i.e. the 50th wedding anniversary, of Joseph and Rebecca. Most likely, there was a gathering in order to celebrate the impressive milestone & these books were made to hand-out to guests. The inscription in this works assigns the recipient as Anna Monaghan (it appears she signed her name below the inscription in pencil). The bulk of the inscription was probably written by Rebecca, but it appears Joseph signed his name due to slightly different hand-writing and bolder ink. Rebecca was known as selfless, pure of character, and a great favorite in her community, known as "Aunt Rebecca" to all. Incredibly scarce with all album photos intact & inscription. GIFT QUALITY!
