CONCLUSION

This book is an amazing specimen of nineteenth century literature. It was a story that reached to the masses and continues to hold a place in society today. Louisa May Alcott was an author who touched the masses through her stories of the March family. Although this book is not the most ornamental example of the bindings used in the nineteenth century, it still displays the workmanship of binding in this time period and is a beautiful book to examine.

This is the cover from the illustrated version of Little Women.
