Antique 1876 Self-Raised by E.D.E.N. Southworth – T.B. Peterson – Decorative Red

This beautiful old book has earned every bit of its character.

Self-Raised; or, From the Depths by Mrs. E.D.E.N. Southworth was published by T.B. Peterson & Brothers as part of Peterson's Uniform Edition of the author's complete works. Copyright 1876, this antique book features a faded red cloth cover with black decoration and an especially beautiful ornate spine with gold lettering and floral detailing.

The years have left their mark on this one. The front cover shows significant wear and discoloration that appears consistent with past moisture exposure, and there is some separation along the spine. The back cover and decorative spine display especially well. Please review all photos carefully for condition.

Despite its imperfections—or perhaps because of them—it is a wonderful authentic antique book for decorating. Display it spine-out on a bookshelf, add it to a stack of old books, or use it to bring rich color and genuine age to a vintage vignette.
