Vintage Little Women Illustrated Cloth Hardcover 1940s Gift Inscription (BK-A169)
A beautifully illustrated vintage hardcover of Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, featuring illustrations by Louis Jambor.
This edition is wrapped in a charming patterned cloth cover with repeating figures in period dress, a design that feels straight out of a 1940s parlor. Inside, the book includes black-and-white illustrations as well as rich color plates.
What truly sets this copy apart is its history. The front pages contain handwritten names and dated inscriptions, noting it was received on Christmas Eve, 1947, and gifted by family members. A vintage library checkout card is still tucked inside, quietly recording decades of readers before finding its way here.
