### Antique New York Cassell Printing — Half Leather & Marbled Boards — Historic Longmore Family Provenance

Up for sale is an authentic, late-Victorian antiquarian copy of J. M. Barrie’s early Scottish literary triumph, **A Window in Thrums**, published in New York by the Cassell Publishing Company and pressed by the historic Mershon Company in Rahway, New Jersey 

This volume carries wonderful family provenance, featuring the crisp, elegant antique fountain pen signature of **W. Longmore** across the flyleaf. It stems directly from a notable multi-generational family library collection.

### Unique Historical Details:

* **Southampton Bookbinder Ticket  Features a rare, tiny original bookseller/binder ticket on the inside cover from *Broadbere, Bar Gate Southampton*, providing a lovely window into its historical journey across the Atlantic.

* **Classic Half-Leather Presentation:** Bound in a traditional Victorian 19th-century half-leather design with dark brown leather corners and spine, accented by beautifully swirled green and red marbled paper sides

### Condition Report:

* **Binding/Exterior  Fair condition. The spine leather shows heavy historical drying, surface cracking, and rubbing, with a notable chip of leather missing at the base of the spine text. The marbled paper sides remain intact with typical edge shelf wear. The binding structure itself is secure.

* **Interior :** Good to Very Good. The internal pages are securely bound. The paper remains smooth and clean, with standard soft age-toning and mild foxing spots limited primarily to the early title leaves.

A lovely historical piece for collectors of early J. M. Barrie works, Scottish fiction, or those following the unique history of the Longmore family library.
