St Nicholas Illustrated 1894, originally uploaded by DianthusMoon.

I collect vintage children’s book. This is a big thick one with many litographs (or etchings) from 1894. It’s not in the best of shape, but so neat to look at! Beautiful art work too!

    What a lovely vintage book! I wish I had the one or two versions of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas my mother read to me. I can see the book now in my memory.

    Cool! Love the book! I have a couple old books for kids, but we (my Hubs) mostly collect antique hymn/music books. Thanks for sharing.
