Title: May the Peace of Christmas Tide, with You Through the Year Abide [Hand-Embelished Christmas Book]
Description: S. l. s. n. 1890. Small Christmas book, set and embelished into a hand-made frame with a stand, n. d. (late 19th century); book - 3 1/2 x 4 1/4, frame - 7 x 7 1/2; book with plain, card stock wraps with laid-on, chromolithographed illustration, pp. [12]; frame constructed out of two types of padded fabric and three kinds of decorative strings in cream, beige, and copper; backed with a stiff, card stock stand to verso; a few small spots and mild general wear; overall in very good condition. A pretty piece of folk art, it was most probably hand-made as a combination greetings card, Christmas gift, and holiday memento by fashioning a frame around a small book of popular quotations. Very good .
