A children"s natural history book published in the latter part of the 19th Century by the well-known coffee company. Each of the album"s 11" x 7" lithographed pages depict colorful illustrations of various animals on the right-hand page with descriptions of the animals and their native habitat on the left. The album is bound with string and comprises 14 leaves in total (we are unaware of whether the album is missing pages due to the nature of the binding). The last two pages instead of describing animals and their habitats describe of course coffee.Because coffee is important and we need to indoctrinate our children early.In overall GOOD condition the beautiful album exhibits various points of wear along the edges and binding along with various bits of age-related wear throughout none of which interfere greatly from the wonderful displayability of the piece. An outstanding non-sports related collectible.
