8\" x 11\" — 112 Pages (Plus Insert Ephemera)
This is an exceptional, complete original 112-page antique master trade catalog titled \"1930 Annual Catalog: Sunday School Literature, Supplies & Holiday Specialties,\" published by the historic David C. Cook Publishing Co. Distributed out of their massive mailing facility in Elgin, Illinois, for their landmark 55th anniversary, this catalog serves as an unparalleled material history of early 20th-century religious education and church life.
The striking front cover displays a spectacular photographic grid honoring 26 of the era\'s leading scholars and authors. Crucially, this archive remains completely intact and includes its original matching insert ephemera: a blank David C. Cook Order Sheet No. 55 and its original unused postal return envelope.
The extensive 112-page interior is a paradise for design and advertising collectors, containing hundreds of highly detailed illustrations, engravings, and period price guides. Comprehensive sections catalog classic children\'s literature, luxury India paper leather testaments, industrial church fundraising hardware (engraved mite boxes and chapel banks), and holiday theater backdrops. Of special note to toy and miniature collectors are pages 44-45, which display an array of structural objects and models for biblical teaching, including miniature scale models of the Tabernacle, sheepfolds, and rolling-stone tombs.
Please inspect all high-resolution photographs to evaluate the exact cosmetic condition.
