We own large collection of ladies periodicals from the 18th and 19th century. On occasion as we upgrade the volumes we own, we put others for sale.
In our auctions we have mentioned before, that such publications have become scarcer and increasingly more valuable due to the constant destruction of these books.

The beautiful hand coloured or chromolithographs prints inside are removed for framing, and immediately destroyed by sunlight regardless how protective the glass is.
