Sobre este artículo
Beautiful small volume of Benjamin Franklin's autobiography published in Philadelphia in 1895 (not on title page or verso). Green cloth cover boards with large Art Nouveau lily design; spine bumped and faded, lower corners bumped and worn, pages tight. Worst defect is that the frontispiece is detached but present, as shown; it has large black and white etching of Franklin and could be tipped in. 288 pgs plus 34 pg publisher's advertising lists. Some foxing on back inside cover, some soiling, previous owner's name on inside front cover, gilt lettering on cover worn off.
Sinopsis
The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is the traditional name for the unfinished record of his own life written by Benjamin Franklin from 1771 to 1790; however, Franklin himself appears to have called the work his Memoirs. Although it had a tortuous publication history after Franklin's death, this work has become one of the most famous and influential examples of autobiography ever written.

Sobre Anne's Books
I am a dealer in antique linens, and find many intriguing books at estate sales. Now I am sharing them with you through this site. Some are antique, some vintage; I have some scientific volumes from my former career. I also try to acquire books connected with Delaware and mid-Atlantic US history. Please check my inventory; I hope you'll see something to tempt you.
