Little Canary's Cousin Eugene
Mrs. M. A. Osgood
Boston: Lee and Shepard; 1873
First Edition
An attractive 1873 juvenile title from the popular Little Canary Series by poet and children's author Mrs. M. A. Osgood.
Bound in the publisher's decorative teal cloth with elaborate gilt birdcage design to the front cover and ornate gilt spine decoration. The binding remains especially appealing, with strong shelf presence and the distinctive Victorian juvenile design that collectors of nineteenth-century children's books seek.
Illustrated with full-page engravings. The story follows the adventures of Cousin Eugene and reflects the family-centered moral and domestic themes characteristic of post-Civil War American juvenile literature.
A handsome early Lee & Shepard production combining decorative binding appeal, juvenile literature, and Victorian illustration.
Condition: Very Good+. Binding tight and square. Gilt cover and spine decoration bright. Light rubbing at extremities with minor wear at spine ends and corners. Interior clean. No loose pages.
