Step back into the pastoral charm of 19th-century America with this exquisite true First Edition copy of "Farm Ballads" by Will Carleton (1873).

This specific copy is a collector's dream, showing fantastic structural integrity with a remarkably tight, intact binding and clean, crisp internal pages. All original protective tissue papers remain intact over the detailed accompanying illustrations.

Adding to its historic provenance, the inside front cover features a small vintage name label for "Annie F Smith" and a beautiful period inscription hand-dated June 28, 1873—placing this exact book directly in the year of the title’s debut. The ornate brown cloth cover with its gleaming gold gilt portrait makes this a magnificent addition to any antiquarian library or Americana collection.
