Betsy Ross: Quaker Rebel (In the Dustjacket, Wraparound Band and Box)

Philadelphia: John C. Winston Company, 1933. Pictorial cloth. Near Fine/Near Fine. J.L.G. Ferris and Edwin John Prittie. Unusual, handsome copy of this 1933 very early reprint. Tight and VG+ to Near Fine (light offsetting at the pastedowns and endsheets, mild foxing along the fore-edge) in a crisp, VG+ to Near Fine example of the price-intact ($2.00) dustjacket, with very mild spotting at the rear flap. Also includes the scarce printed wraparound band AND the publisher's original pictorial box, which is completely sturdy and very presentable. Octavo, nicely illustrated throughout by J.L.G. Ferris and Edwin John Prittie. (From the dustjacket covers: "The True Story of the Romantic Life of the Maker of the First American Flag", and "Do You Know That 'Betsy Ross: Quaker Rebel' is the only bioography of this colonial heroine ever published and that the facts of her life are here given for the first time by one of her descendants, from family records?") A sharp, especially attractive copy with the addition of its uncommon wraparound band and original box.
