Antique 1908 Cape Cod book by Henry David Thoreau, second edition published by Thomas Y Crowell & Co. This edition has a stunning red, green, and gold cover, perfect for holiday decor!
This book includes Thoreau's recorded adventures including chapters on The Shipwreck, Stage-Coach Views, The Plains of Nauset, The Beach, The Wellfleet Oysterman, The Beach Again, Across the Cape, The Highland Light, The Sea and the Desert, and Provincetown. There are lovely illustrations by Clifton Johnson throughout the book as well.
There is wear and discoloration on the cover, spine, and pages due to age. No writing inside that I could find. The book measures about 8.5" x 5.75" x 1.5". Please note that photos may appear brighter than the actual book.
