I have a very nice example covering a 10' x 13" school book. It's called GUYOT'S GRAMMAR SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY. First published in 1874 by Scribner, Armstrong & Company of New York, the dust jacket dates from the period 1875-1878 when the above publisher changed it's name to Charles Scribner's Sons. On the front of the jacket is a picture of some soldiers, with the title of the textbook and below that it says "Sold by SANFORD & CO. 364 Main Street, WORCESTER, MASS. then below that says Holden Book Cover, Patented November 16th, 1875. There's a bordering pattern around the edges. On the rear of the jacket is an advertisement in the centre with bordering which reads: Sandford & Co. Dealers in all kinds of School Books and School Merchandise, Slates, Blank Books, Pencils, Rubberws, Ink, Pens, and everything wanted by Scholars in Public Schools. Remember the place - SANFORD'S Cor. Main and Maple Sts, Lincoln House Block, WORCESTER, MASS. The Jacket is in two pieces with the spine of jacket no longer there but is largely intact and very readable. The jacket has been held in place by the sleeves which are folded and glued over in two places front and rear in 3 rounded oval sides. I hope to show some photos of the jacket sometime. best regards, Duncan Quarterman (Australia) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13227887447216474833noreply@blogger.com
