Antique cookbook Mother James’ key to good cooking quite rare very good 1892

This is a great example of a very hard to find cookbook. Copyright 1890 by Mrs Virginia E James Copyright 1892 by N D Thompson Publishing Co. I have never seen another with any different dates. Presumably she had acquired the copyright in 1890 and it was published in 1892. The front board is attached but has movement the pages are all intact and uniformly browned and aged. Apart from the single penciled recipe on the blank front page it is unmarked and internally very clean. Some hand written recipes were found amount the pages and will be included. I have not attempted to clean the book in anyway. 526 pages in length with the title page reading: MOTHER JAMES’ KEY TO GOOD COOKING WITH COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS IN HOUSEHOLD MANAGEMENT DESIGNED TO MEET REQUIREMENTS OF COMMON EVERYDAY USE IN THE COUNTRY AND VILLAGE HOMES OF THE PRESENT DAY BEING THE RESULT OF FOURTY YEARS EXPERIENCE IN PRACTICAL HOUSEKEEPING AND IN EVERY PHASE AND DEPARTMENT OF COOKERY FROM THE HUMBLE COUNTRY HOME TO THE CITY MANSION MRS VIRGINIA E JAMES Thank you very much for looking please see photos and ask if you have any questions. No bundling due to weight.
