Title: Unleavened Bread Author: Robert Grant Publisher: Charles Scribner's Sons Publication Date: 1900 (First Edition / First Printing) Binding: Original green cloth hardcover with gold leaf stamping KEY SELLING POINTS FOR COLLECTORS Margaret Armstrong Art Nouveau Binding: The stunning front cover and spine were designed by the legendary American artist Margaret Armstrong. Known for her iconic, stylized floral and geometric trade bindings, her work is highly sought after by decorative arts collectors. The gold stamping on this copy remains bright and visually striking. Fascinating "Ex-Libris" Provenance: Features a beautiful, authentic vintage bookplate affixed to the inner front board. The custom plate belonged to Douglas Alexander Elliott, a pioneering transatlantic flight engineer for Pan American Airways during the "Flying Boat" era and a prominent WWII veteran. The central sailing ship motif elegantly mirrors his lifelong career in aviation and global navigation. Conditon Report Exterior: The original cloth boards show light corner rubbing and typical shelf wear for a 125-year-old book. The spine is intact with some minor softening at the head and foot. Interior: The binding is firm and square. Pages are clean, complete, and free of heavy foxing or severe water damage. Early bookseller pencil notations (1W / 95) are present in the top corner of the flyleaf. Please review all high-resolution photos carefully to assess condition details before purchasing.
