📖 1800s Family Bible (artist Sarah Truax Collection) + Antique Book Set ~ Early American & European Classics

Buy this set of old books and the antique Irish Travel books for $300. This rare and meaningful collection has been in my family for generations. The centerpiece is Sarah Truax’s personal family Bible ~ she was a celebrated early San Diego artist who studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and and exhibited at major California expositions including the Panama-California (1915) and Golden Gate (1939). Inside the Bible, dating to the 1800s, are real moments of history including a delicate memento from Charles “Lucky Lindy” Lindbergh’s famous 1927 transatlantic flight tucked carefully between the pages. It’s like opening a time capsule filled with art, faith, and wonder. Also included are my grandmother’s antique books ~ each one steeped in its own layer of history and character: 📚 Included Titles: 1. Aunt Jo’s Scrap Bag: My Boys, Etc. — Louisa May Alcott (1880s–1890s edition) 2. Les Misérables — Victor Hugo (early 1900s) 3. Uncle Tom’s Cabin — Harriet Beecher Stowe (late 1800s embossed floral cover) 4. Everybody’s Complete Encyclopedia — (early 1900s, with fascinating pre-WWII entries on Stalin and Hitler before their rise) 5. The Man from Glengarry — Ralph Connor (early 1900s Revell edition) 6. Holy Bible — Family heirloom, late 1800s, belonging to Sarah Truax The small diary at the top of the stack (my grandmother’s first year of marriage) is not included, but it helps date and contextualize the collection. Every piece has that rich patina and presence you can only get from true age ~ this is more than a set of books, it’s a living archive of faith, art, and literature from the late 1800s through the 1930s. 💛 Price: $325 for the full set antique books o 1800s Bible o Sarah Truax o Alphonse Mucha o Art Institute of Chicago o Lucky Lindy o Charles Lindbergh o Louisa May Alcott o Victor Hugo o Harriet Beecher Stowe o Ralph Connor o early encyclopedia o Americana o San Diego artist o fine art history o
