Description:
Philadelphia: The Wanderers Club. Very Good+. 1915-1924. First Edition. Hardcover. The paper is browning and disintegrating. The contents are very good + to fine, but well glued in. Some beautiful Christmas cards, as well as a whole section of ephemera, notes, menus, etc. , relating to the club. All sorts of interesting things. There is a miniature book, "the Trail to Christmas" by Wilber D. Nesbit, and a Christmas card signed by Bert & Alta Hubbard. Bert is the son of Elbert Hubbard (Roycrofters). Also, a pamplet signed by the then-governor of Pennsylvania, Martin G. Brumbaugh, giving his address on Pennsylvania Day at the Panama Pacific Exposition in 1915. Who knows what else is there? I have only looked at a fraction of the cards. Price is for both albums. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall .
