Cedar (Waxwing) Plate

Richly illustrated volume, detailing the works that Munch left to the City of Oslo upon his death. Contains both black and white and colour images, all of which appear to be intact. Dust cover has some wear, but it has done its job of protecting the hardcover which is still a lovely blue. Front cover does have a bit of a dent at the bottom, likely from having been dropped or set down heavily on a book shelft, but it is minor. Binding is still tight. Pages have yellowed slightly.

According to Wikipedia: Eight Cousins was originally published in 1875 by American novelist Louisa May Alcott and is part of the Little Women Series. It is the story of Rose Campbell, who has been recently orphaned and resides with her maiden great aunts, the matriarchs of her wealthy family near Boston,[3] until her guardian, Uncle Alec, returns from abroad to take over her care. Through his unorthodox theories about child-rearing, she becomes happier and healthier while finding her place in her family of seven boy cousins and numerous aunts and uncles. This copy was published c.1948 and has the original owner&#39;s name inside. The pages have browned somewhat from age.

First introduced in the late 1950s, here&#39;s what I learned about the Brownie Starlet Camera from Jim Grey&#39;s blog (Down the Road): The simplest of all Star cameras, the Starlet features an acrylic, single-element Dakon lens of f/8 or maybe f/11, set in a rotary shutter that fires at probably 1/50 sec. A switch at the bottom of the front plate changes the aperture between “color” (EV 13, wide open) and “B&W” (EV 14, one stop less of exposure). The prominent central viewfinder and the aluminum top plate gives this camera “that TLR look,” but it’s a viewfinder camera all the way. For flash photographs, a screw-and-pin connector on the side connects to all manner of Kodak flash units.approx.
This camera would make a great addition to your camera collection! These cameras also look great styled on a bookshelf. Not guaranteed to be working.
