Description
Two Late 19th-Century Books: A ‘Jerusalem’ Souvenir Album and a ‘Primitive Methodist Hymnal’
This lot comprises two late 19th-century publications. The first is a ‘Jerusalem’ souvenir album, presented in a vibrantly illustrated paper-covered hardcover. Its cover features decorative borders, vignettes of local figures, and a central depiction of the Dome of the Rock. The interior includes a preface dated “June, 1889,” and contains multiple color prints of Jerusalem landmarks, with captions provided in English, German (“Der Felsen,” “Die Axa-Moschee”), and French (“La Roche,” “La Mosquée d’Axa”). The second item is a ‘Primitive Methodist Hymnal with Supplement Organ Edition,’ a cloth-bound hardcover. This hymnal also bears a “June, 1889” preface and was published in London by Joseph Johnson, edited by George Booth, M.D. The cover displays “PRIMITIVE METHODIST HYMNAL” and the book contains musical notation.
