ST. NICHOLAS AND HIS SERVANT

ST. NICHOLAS AND HIS SERVANT, The Alexandra Publishing Company (ca. 1895), first edition, some wear and soiling to the covers, else a good to very good copy with the front cover bearing a full color pictorial lithograph as does 6 of the 10 pages within. A very rare book of which we could not locate a single copy held anywhere on the globe. Perhaps a bit controversial as servant Peter, as depicted in this volume no less than 8 times, is a young black boy. The notion of a "Black Peter" is possibly of Germanic origin.
