Antique 1888 Illustrated Hardcover Book “Editha’s Burglar” by F.H. Burnett
As shown. See all photos. Pre-owned by an ancestor and inscribed in 1898. Stunning mini book, though dirty on the back and bookplate pages loose/detached. Even so, it’s lovely. I think it’s a first edition. H.M. Caldwell “In 1896 Herbert M. Caldwell established his New York publishing house. He had previously worked for the Henry Altemus publishing firm. Like Altemus, a majority of Caldwell's books were in publisher’s series and those titles were reprints of the classics, fiction, poetry, etc. Caldwell was in business between 1896 and 1913.”Jordan, Marsh & Co. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_MarshF.H.
