About this Item

The Atlantic Souvenir; A Christmas and New Year's Offering. 1827. Philadelphia: H. C. Carey & I. Lea, 1826. 360 p, LACKING FRONTISPIECE PLATE: Imagination AND VIGNETTE TITLE PAGE. ORIGINAL BINDING & ORIGINAL SLIPCASE! 5.75 x 3.75", 12mo.

In poor condition. As is. Slipcase: lacking spine with chipping to head of fore-edge; illustrated covers moderately rubbed & scuffed with staining. Both boards DETACHED. Detached boards scuffed at edges and worn/bumped at corners. Head and tail of spine chipped with exposed binding. End-pages and fly-leaves also loose with scuffing around edges. Toning and age-staining through text-block. Off-setting on tissue guards. BOTH BOARDS ARE DETACHED! Binding fragile. Please see photos and ask questions, if any, before purchasing.

The binding of The Atlantic Souvenir for 1827 features an engraving of a shell surrounded by laurel wreathes. Within the shell are the title of the annual, the name of the publishing city, and the name of the publishers. The shell sits atop a pedestal engraved with a spread eagle above the motto of the United States, ?E PLURIBUS UNUM.? Engravings on the back cover feature a women and a youth in Grecian dress, the former playing a tambourine and the latter holding a bell. The steel-plate engraving titled ?Imagination,? listed as appearing opposite page 240, appears as the LACKING frontispiece to the volume.

The Atlantic Souvenir proved to be one of Carey and Lea?s most successful ventures. In the 1820s and 1830s, Christmas as a gift-giving season began to occupy an increasingly prominent place in the yearly rhythm of American publishing, and so the popularity of Christmas literary annuals increased. Although annuals had been popular in Britain and Europe for several years, there were only a handful of American annuals on the market when Carey and Lea decided to publish their own.
