Rare antique 1857 Victorian French cartonnage book, "Une Mere."  The book is overall in very good condition with some minor signs of wear and age. The covers have some mild wear.  The binding is good and sound.  The backside of the front fep has an old handwritten Prize bookplate.  There is some foxing to the interior.  Along with that, there may be the very occasional page with some kind of other minor imperfection such as a tiny chip or tear, creased page corner, minor stain or marking, etc.  Generally though, it's a nice copy.  The book measures approximately 8 3/8 inches by 5 1/4 inches and is 190 pages long with a black and white frontispiece.  The text is in French.  Please look at all of the photos to further note the condition.
