Prisons and Prisoners

Burgundy cloth boards with illustration of Newgate Prison gate & gilt lettering, frontispiece of Horsley's school's certificate. Toning to endpapers, generally a very good clean copy. Prison slang, prisoner stories, children in prison, etc. This was part of the new interest in the lower classes of America: Nelly Bly, Jacob Riis, and other reporters helped to create this social awareness.
