Antique 1881 illustrated children's book The Boy That Was Too Beautiful by Mrs. Lucia Chase Bell.
This is a late-19th-century Victorian children's title with an ornate floral pictorial cloth cover, period illustrations, and decorative typography. The story was originally published in Wide Awake around 1880 before appearing in book form.
The decorative binding is especially attractive for collectors of Victorian children's books, antique illustrated books, 19th-century literature, decorative bindings, and historical nursery books.
This copy shows substantial age-related wear throughout, including foxing, staining, toning, and cover wear. Please review all photos for exact condition.
