Due to the alarming increase in COVID-19 infection rates, we will be closed to the public until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Here’s the first post highlighting one of the items we’ll have available at the upcoming RIHS booksale:
The Instructive Alphabet, New York: Samuel S. Wood, Baltimore, 1818.
A small book for teaching children their alphabet, this little book features numerous wood engravings like the ones above. Included at the end is William Cowper’s anti-slavery poem The Negro’s Complaint.
