Old Dust-Jackets
Here is the photo:
The title of the book appears only on the spine and nowhere else. The entire front and back panels of the dust jacket contain the lists of titles that were printed on the reverse side of dust jackets in future years. According to the bookseller, the jacket is from 1908 to 1915.
These types of jackets were used for advertising purposes only. They were intended to be thrown away after the purchase of the book. It is amazing that it has lasted for around 100 years.
