Publishers' Binding Thursday
This week's publishers' binding example is a classic for young girls—Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm by American educator, author, and composer Kate Douglas Wiggin. Published in 1903 by Houghton Mifflin & Co, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm was an instant bestseller and was adapted for both stage and screen, with a 1938 film adaptation starring Shirley Temple.
I believe this is a first edition of the book but a fourth printing, judging by several lines in the book that were changed between the first printing and this one. The cover features a vignette of a brick house with green shutters surrounded by trees and flowers with another image of a lovely little stream flowing through a meadow below. The spine features flowering vines climbing up it, along with the title, author, and publisher. The title page has the same illustration of a house that is on the front cover, but printed in a nice spring green.
