Book With Edison Library Seal


Recommended Posts

Posted

I got this book of Longfellow poems at a multi-state yard sale years ago. The interesting thing is that it has the Library of Thomas A. Edison seal. As a bonus there was a carte de visite small period photograph of Longfellow. I have not found any information about this item and was wondering if anyone had some insight into it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nice find. In the past I had a couple of random books with the same seal. I was never able to find out why or when some books were de-accessioned from his personal library. 

 

The CDV is quite a bonus!
