The Gift (for 1836)

Particular care was generally given to the binding of all gift books. This binding features ornate stamping on the covers and spine. The picture to the right shows the spine, front and back covers of The Gift for 1836. In the panel near the top of the spine, it reads "THE GIFT" and in the smaller panel near the bottom, "Phila[delphia] 1836." The decoration features an egale in an elaborate frame. The rear cover is identical to the front.
