Published in 1909 by Bellows-Reeve Company, Chicago, and compiled and edited by Charles H. Sylvester, Journeys Through Bookland is a treasure trove of world literature including nursery rhymes, Chaucer, Tennyson, Wordsworth, Cervantes, Shakespeare, Benjamin Franklin, Thoreau, George Eliot, Keats, Shelley, Kipling, Oliver Goldsmith, Matthew Arnold, Alexander Pope, to name just a few in no particular order. The books are beautifully illustrated.

This is a complete set of eleven (11) volumes including a Guide "For parents, teachers, and all who have children under their charge; for adults who wish to renew their acquaintance with the friends of their youth, or to open for the first time the world's great treasures house of literature..."

These vintage Bibliothèque de la Pléiade editions of Albert Camus, Jean Giono, and the ancient Greek historians Herodotus & Thucydides are bound in green and brown leather. The set would make a lovely edition to your home or office library. The collection would also make a very special gift for a Francophile friend.

Created in the 1931 by Jacques Schiffrins, who later went on to found Pantheon Books, Bibliothèque de la Pléiade volumes are high-quality books with a slightly larger than pocket-size format. Each book in the set is bound in leather, has gold gilt lettering and spine decorations, a clear plastic dust jacket and is printed on Bible paper -- a thin grade of wood-free uncoated paper often used for Bibles containing cotton or linen fibers which increases the paper's durability without adding bulk. The books were published by Gallimard and printed in France.

The books are in good condition. Each volume has two ribbon bookmarks and clear plastic dust jackets. The dust jackets show some shelf wear but have done their job and have kept the leather covers in beautiful condition. The jacket on the Giono volume has a tear on the spine. Pages have some soiling along the edges. Pages are clean. Bindings are tight.

Pewter Pin - Floral Pin - Vintage Pin - Flower Brooch - Swedish Jewelry - Pewter Jewelry - Narke - Vintage Brooch - Scandinavian Jewelry - by HappyFortuneVintage

45.00 USD

Renowned for their metal work, Scandinavian designers set the standard for modern mid-century pewter & silver jewelry. Pin this floral brooch onto a black turtleneck sweater for a very modernist look.

The pin is marked "Narke," which is a town in Sweden, as well as the Swedish word for the cowslip flower. The flower on the brooch is clearly a cowslip. Very cool! The pin also has a markers mark "B.T. Sweden" and has the look of a Tennesmed piece.

This lovely pin will come in a gift box ready for giving.

The pin is in good condition. There is a scratch on the back near the makers mark. The pin back shows oxidation. It could be cleaned but I will leave it to you. The very tip of the pin point has a slight curve to it. I'm not sure if this is original or not. The pin works just fine and is very secure.

Measurements: 1 3/4" x 1 1/2"
