RARE! 1860 My Own Picture Book and How to Make It | Antique Children's Picture Book | Ernest Nister/E.P. Dutton Publisher

This rare and wonderful children's picture book was published in 1860, the same year Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the United States.

Similar to what we know as sticker books today, this innovative book gave illustrations to cut out and paste beautiful full-color and black & white illustrations on each page, making the book "my own."

Filled with stunning imagery of the times, this is a terrific addition to any antique children's library.
