Item:186270861751SALESMENS SAMPLE OF CHILDREN'S BOOKS ca. 1900 - BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATED ENGRAVINGS. We are offering a Salesmen's Sample "Book" (7" x 9 3/4") which contains some sample pages of 7 different books - some for young children; and some for older children & adults. **NOTE** - All the samples have the actual hard cover of the books, except for the Bible Alphabet and Story Book, for which the cover was INTENTIONALLY not included. Instead, a picture of the cover is shown with the caption "The above engraving gives but a faint idea of our Beautiful Linen Book, which is printed in many different colors". Apparently, the covers for this book had not yet been made due to them being offered in different colors. Customers would have chosen the color they wished when the salesman took their orders, and the number of covers for the different colors would then be manufactured. 1.) Bible Alphabet and Story Book - "A" for Noah's Ark, "B" for Bible, "M" for the maidens of the Egyptian princess who found the baby Moses in the reeds, and "N" for the nets of the fishermen whom Jesus came upon, with colorful illustrations and scripture verses for each event. 2.) Childhood's Happy Days - with pages illustrated with original engravings. Contains short stories written as poems & nursery rhymes. By Horace C. Fry. "Exactly suited to the youngest children, the darlings of the nursery and the fireside." 3.) American Indians and Their Daring Deeds. Their Customs, Traits of Character, Superstitions, Modes of Warfare, etc. By Ella Hines Stratton. This sample contains the Contents of the Book, with a description of all 17 chapters. According to what they say here, in order to be more suitable for children, the book "Portrays the remarkable traits of Indian character, many of which are noble and worthy of imitation, and omits the horrors of Indian History". 4.) Home and School Reciter and Entertainer. Including Gems of Poetry, Prose and Song. "Contains the Choicest Recitations......from the Best Authors". Compiled & Edited by Rev. Henry Davenport Northrop. 5.) The Marvelous Story of Christ and His Apostles. By Henry D. Northrop. The Life of Our Savior from the Lowly Manger to His Sublime Ascension. 6.)
