Another treasure to share are these late 1890's publications from London. I found these at the local flea market from a man that said he bought them at auction at an old estate in Macon recently. There were 5 different editions in the packet.This one is dated December 5, 1891. They appear to be original documents. They are so wonderful. The articles and all of the illustrations are just fantastic. Here are some pics of some inside pages.
I haven't gone through all of them yet, but I may have to find a way to share these images with those that may be interested for their artwork. The 2 birds will work on that.
Lastly, I found this wonderful old wooden German puzzle. It is in perfect condition.The puzzle includes several cards to follow for putting the puzzle together to make different pictures.
I will have to keep this one away from Shelby for a little while to help keep this pristine for awhile.
I hope you enjoyed the treasures. Thanks for visiting.
