Antique Black Beauty book by Anna Sewell published by Henry Altemus. This book has a beautiful decorative teal blue, burgundy, and green floral cover. There are also a few black and white illustrations within.
This children's book was Sewell's only novel and was meant to promote the humane treatment of horses. It is narrated by Black Beauty as he is owned by kind masters, then sold to cruel owners, and then eventually goes to kind owners again and recovers from poor treatment. This would be the perfect gift for anyone who loves horses or horseback riding.
There is no copyright date in this book, but it was likely published in the late 1800s or early 1900s like other books of its kind. There is wear/discoloration/bumping to the cover, spine, and pages due to age but all pages are tightly bound. The book measures about 6.5" x 4.25". Photos may appear brighter than actual book.
