Alcott, Louisa May – Little Women & Little Men – Antique 1887 Hardcover Set
$298 · Offered by eBay
Antique matching 1887 editions of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women and Little Men, published during Alcott’s lifetime by Roberts Brothers, her original American publisher. Little Women contains Parts I and II complete in one volume, while Little Men continues the story at Plumfield. Both volumes include black-and-white illustrations. The pair is beautifully bound in matching Victorian brown cloth with gilt lettering, black botanical decoration, red-and-gold spine ornamentation, patterned endpapers, and gilt page edges. These bindings were part of Roberts Brothers’ uniform series of Alcott’s works, making the two volumes especially lovely displayed together. Both books are in good antique condition with expected wear from nearly 140 years of age, including rubbing, discoloration, edge and corner wear, and wear at the spine ends. Little Men shows additional wear around the frontispiece and adjacent pages, as pictured. Please review photos carefully for details and condition.
