Lives of Harrison & Morton Lew Wallace Hubbard Bros 1st Ed Antique Book 1888
This antique 1888 political biography volume, Lives of Harrison and Morton, documents the lives of Gen. Benjamin Harrison and Hon. Levi P. Morton, who were elected President and Vice President of the United States in 1888. Written by Gen. Lew Wallace (author of Ben-Hur) and George Alfred Townsend, the book reflects late-19th-century American political publishing and campaign-era biography writing.
The decorative Victorian cloth binding with gilt title panel and floral motifs is typical of American publisher’s bindings from the late 1800s. The volume includes engraved illustrations and period typography, making it appealing to collectors of presidential history, Civil War figures, and 19th-century Americana. An inscription dated Nov. 8th, 1888 adds period authenticity.
