My Travelship BOOK HOUSE FOR CHILDREN Japan Holland France 1926 Lot of 3
This complete 3-volume set from the My Travelship series (published by The Book House for Children in Chicago, edited by Olive Beaupré Miller) is a wonderfully illustrated children’s collection from the mid-1920s. Condition: The embossed/pictorial cloth covers show minor shelf wear, light fading on the spines, and rubbing around the edges/corners. The inner pages look clean, but spine tightness, hinge strain, or internal markings (writing, foxing, tears) will sway the price toward the lower or higher end of the range. Illustrators: The books feature artwork by notable period illustrators, including Newbery winners Maud and Miska Petersham (Holland & France) and Katharine Sturges (Japan), which appeals to collectors of vintage illustration art.
