c1887 Lot of 2 Composition Books Perry NY, HISTORY, ZOOLOGY, SCIENCE Penmanship

Description

Offered for sale is this antique circa 1887 lot of 2 small composition books in fair overall condition. One is a History book while the other is Zoology and both are from a young man from Perry NY named Guy Shaw. Some pages are written in pen and some are written in pencil. These are a wonderful example of penmanship from the late 1800's. The history book is dated, Sept. 7, 1887 and the zoology book is not dated but is also signed by Guy Shaw and is of the same period. They measure about 7 3/4" by 6 1/4" and the History book has 83 pages of writing while the Zoology book has 175 written pages including Science and Astronomy sections in it! There is wear on the edges and light foxing as to be expected. The hardcovers and spines are separating but still holding on. The pages are still tight, pliable and very readable. Shipping and handling to any of the 50 states is .00 and will be paid for by the winning bidder. If you are an International buyer, I only ship Internationally through the Ebay Global Shipping Program. Thank you for looking at this Educational Ephemera lot!
