AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Superb old work entitled "Beautiful Joe, an Autobiography" by Marshall Saunders.
Charles H. Banes Publication, Philadelphia, 1894.
This is the first edition.
This book is respectfully dedicated by the author, a named copy, to Georgee Thorndike Angell, the friend of mute animals.
Please note: the original language is English.
A sturdy book in very good condition considering its age, rare in this condition.
Interior very fresh and in very good condition. (Note: small tear on page 18, see photo)
Dimensions 18.5 cm x 13 cm, 304 pages.
Weight excluding packaging 540 g.
Delivery to a nearby pickup point (UPS, Mondial Relay...) or directly to your home if no nearby pickup point is available.

History: First edition, with all the printing points of the first series, and the frontispiece captioned "My Name is Beautiful Joe." Although Blanck preferred the printer of the American Baptist Publication Society, we have a letter from the author indicating that after being rejected by several publishers, Charles Banes was the first to agree to publish it. Furthermore, subsequent research indicates that the "My Name is Beautiful Joe" frontispiece was the preferred one.
