1888 Open Secrets by Lucy A Bennett Illustrated E & J B Young & Co NY An interesting and rare copy of Open Secrets by Lucy A Bennett. Fully illustrated throughout, the book publishing marks say Castell Brothers London, E.C. and New York E & J B Young & Co so I believe this was exported for the U.S. market. Printed in Bavaria. The book is a printing of poetry with each poem having a related illustration. It is undated, but was printed in 1888. Leather bound book, leather dried out. Thick pages.
