Sometimes you just know something is special. You don't even have to look for the name of the Artist, the printer, the year of publication . . . . you just know : )
That's what happened when I saw this sweet little book.
FairyTale Gems ~ By Jennie Harbour
It is an accordion style book that is only 4.5 inches tall with images and stories on both sides.
Superb Chromolithographs in perfect colours ~ framed with scrolls and roses.
Each picture is a miniature work of Art
I can imagine how thrilled a little girl in the 1920's would have been to own this treasure.
It folds up neatly, ties with a lace ribbon and fits in its original box. Just wonderful!
After doing some research on Rare Books I have found that is indeed a Scare book and even more rare with the original box. It is currently listed in my Ciderantiques ~ eBay

These wonderful lithographs can be digitized. Stunning prints for your mixed media creations.

Karen,
It's beautiful - I wouldn't be able to part with the beautiful little book. You could donate it to my collection of children's literature LOL!
