Lady of the Lake
Lady of the Lake | Sir Walter Scott
7 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
Walter Scott was born in Edinburgh, August 15, 1771, of an ancient Scotch clan numbering in its time many a hard rider and good fighter, and more than one of these petty chieftains, half-shepherd and half-robber, who made good the winter inroads into their stock of beeves by spring forays and cattle drives across the English Border.

The Lady of the Lake | Walter Scott

#OnThisDay in 1826, printing company Ballantyne & Co crashed, bringing with it the fortunes of Sir Walter Scott. The company began in 1810, publishing Scott's wildly popular The Lady of the Lake. Initial success led to bad decisions in a bad economy, and ultimately the creditors they came a-calling. Scott's health and wealth never recovered. #HistoryGetsLIT

When looking for an entry for #quotsyapr19 (antique), I came across this collections of books left me by my Gear Aunt Blanche. Covered by hand in snakeskin, cowhide, and lamb, dating from between 1892 and 1899. A couple were also hand-tooled. The pages are brittle and delicate, but I insist on bringing them out every once in a while to see how they are doing.

On top of yesterday's Liliputh mini dictionnary, I just so happen to have other tiny, though slightly bigger books too. They include a few guidebooks and dictionaries, as well a my tiny late-19c. Scottish edition of The Lady of the Lake by Scott (top right), and Mao's Little Red Book. #tinybooks #riotgram #riotgrams #day24 @bookriot

1910 American Book Company edition, passed down, probably from my "ritzy side" great grandmother.
