This lot features five early 20th-century cloth-bound books, each exhibiting distinct illustrative and cover design styles characteristic of their period. The collection includes: 1. "Evangeline" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, with illustrations by Howard Chandler Christy, featuring a richly decorated red cloth cover with gilt lettering and an elaborate heart motif. 2. "Sporting Print" by March-Phillips, bound in a simple yet elegant orange cloth with black lettering. 3. "Contrary Mary" by Temple Bailey, presented in a light-colored cloth cover adorned with an intricate red rose and leaf design. 4. "Quo Vadis" by Henryk Sienkiewicz, a popular edition in a green cloth binding with a stylized botanical illustration. 5. "Napoleon Jackson" by Ruth McEnery Stuart, featuring a striking maroon cloth cover with an Art Nouveau-inspired intertwining geometric and floral design in green. While specific publication dates are not present in the images, the aesthetic suggests a period likely between 1900-1930s. Some wear is visible on the covers and spines commensurate with age and handling.
