Pair of Antique Books

A charming pair of early 20th-century illustrated novels featuring The Man on the Box by Harold MacGrath, copyright 1904, and The Strollers by Frederic S. Isham, copyright 1902. Both retain their wonderfully decorative original cloth bindings, with The Man on the Box featuring a stylized carriage motif and The Strollers an illustrated period scene in soft, romantic colors. Published by The Bobbs-Merrill Company, these antique books show age-appropriate wear, including rubbing, discoloration and minor staining to the covers, adding to their authentic character. A handsome pair for styling a collected library, tabletop or bookshelf and especially appealing for their decorative turn-of-the-century bindings.
