Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This is a hand made high school year book assembled by Josephine Shaw who attended South Division High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She graduated in 1927. Book size about 6 by 8 inches. Bound in green cloth over boards with front cover gilt lettering and embossed image of a young woman. One of those early Yearbooks where the publisher provided an outline of what to enter in the book and then the student filled-in the book in whatever manner they chose. This is a superior example of the type with student names, printed programs, writings from classmates, party invitations, fancy napkins, press notices, a dance card with pencil attached, a felt school insignia, various programs related to school work, and much else. The book is so crammed with material that it is far thicker (About 2 1/2 inches thick) than the original published size. I could say this is rare, but it is actually unique, one of a kind, as are all these old hand-made yearbooks. It is impossible to properly describe this book as there is so much in here--and even the five photos I have included with the listing just touch on the contents. A reference book for Women's Studies showing how the young girl of the 1920's was educated. This is one volume in a collection of some 65 of these old Yearbooks ranging from the late 1800's to the 1930's mostly from the Midwest which will be in my book seller catalog titled 'Women'. Usual wear and tear from constant handling while being assembled. VERY GOOD Language: eng Language: eng Language: eng. Signed by Author.
