Wonderful antique children's book "Winter Sport," subtitled "The Merry Coasters."

Copyright 1902 by Benjamin Walter and published in Chicago by Homewood Publishing Company.

The title page describes the contents as "Interesting and Amusing Stories Written by Celebrated Juvenile Writers" and "Beautifully Illustrated."

The outstanding feature is the colorful pictorial front cover depicting children playing and coasting in the snow, along with a little dog. The back cover has another charming winter scene showing children gathered around a snow figure.

Inside are numerous black-and-white illustrations accompanying children's stories.

Approximately 10" tall.

CONDITION: Binding remains intact. Covers show rubbing, soiling and edge/corner wear. Pages have age toning. There is a significant tear to at least one interior page near the gutter, and pencil scribbling/writing is present on the rear endpaper. Additional minor age-related wear may be present. Please see all photos.

A beautiful 1902 display book with an especially desirable winter cover — wonderful for an antique children's book collection, Victorian/Edwardian winter display, Christmas decor or antique illustration collection.

Items are guaranteed to be authentic and in the condition described. 

I pack with care and use new (or clean used) professional packing products. 

All sales final except for misrepresentation which is rare, but always made right. 

I appreciate your business!
