Night and Morning
Description
This 1841 Harper & Brothers edition of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's Night and Morning is a moral novel about family, class, and ambition. This copy once belonged to John Fontaine, the first mayor of Columbus, Georgia, and his family, connecting it to local history and the reading culture of early Southern elites. The worn cloth cover, foxing, and old paper all showcase how books and novels traveled, aged, and connected with people.
