This authentic vintage J. Fenimore Cooper book is an antique printing of The Prairie: A Tale, produced by the prolific historical publisher M. A. Donohue & Co. out of Chicago, Illinois. Dated structurally to the turn of the century between 1901 and 1906 by the presence of the early 407-429 Dearborn St. factory address layout on the splash leaves, this scarce Leatherstocking Tales hardcover book comes bound in its traditional publisher-issued textured crimson red cloth casing. The back-matter leaves include complete, beautifully stylized illustrative period advertisements displaying Donohue's Aurora Series and College Library collections with original mail-order pricing. The inside cover contains beautiful, authentic cursive handwriting penmanship from a past owner for unique vintage appeal. Excellent for serious collectors of antique classic literature reprints, early 20th-century Americana publishing history, or rustic library mantel shelf display accents.
