What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated, Leather Binding, Scarce
Scarce collection. Illustrated with a coloured frontispiece and eleven plates, two of which are in full colour, with many in-text and full-page images. Volume XVII including issues number 823, 5th October 1895, to number 872, 12th September 1896. With The Herald Angels: Being the Extra Christmas Number of The Girl's Own Paper for 1895 to the rear. The Girl's Own Paper was a British story paper for young women and girls which was published weekly from 1880 until 1956 by the Religious Tract Society, which subsequently became the Lutterworth Press. The paper provided a mixture of educational articles, stories, poetry, music, answers to correspondence, and plates or illustrations. Most of the content was created by female writers, artists, and musicians, and as the years progressed the paper included information on serious careers for women and advice on style and dress. For some years The Girl's Own Annual was published as a collection of issues throughout the year.
