This book appears to have a leather cover embossed with goldleaf design and wording. The edges of the pages also have goldleaf on them.
Inside there is a photo of the author and a fine (rice paper?) page with her name printed in red ink.
The following pages after that have the following information -
The author is E.P. Prentiss.
It has illustrations by W. Magrath(b?)
New York and London
G.P. Putnam's Sons
The Knickerbocker Press
Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1867, by CHARLES SCRIBNER & CO.
In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York
Copyright, 1895, by GEORGE L. PRENTISS (In renewal from 1895)
I don't like opening this old book but have seen at least 5 illustrations in it. All pages are intact except for one illustration which was "floating" when book was found.
Pages are soft and supple, white to cream in color with very light yellowing along the edges of the pages (less than 1/16")

Looking for a value, if any, on this book. Thanks!
