Description

The listing, Harriet Hubbard Ayer's Book (1902) has ended.

Harriet Hubbard Ayer’s was born into a wealthy family then tragedy stuck..Her Bio reads like a whirlwind lurid romance with attempts on her life and her 14 month reign in the mental establishment. One man trying to destroy her and her business to take it over. She was a brilliant business woman..I dare say a genius..

The book contains fascinating recipes for beauty, hands, body and mind. This book was published in 1902 and is a 1st. It is in good condition. Lavishly illustrated throughout. 543 pages.

See photos for description. I took plenty of them for your viewing.

Nancy, I see 2 copyrights, but can't make them out. Could you please oblige? Thank you!

Absolutely freelin. It says copyright Harriet Hubbard Ayer's 1899, Printed 1902. This is the the original First Edition. It was reprinted in the 1970's but I don't know who published it then. Thanks for asking. Blessings & Joy to you~~~~~

In 1902 she published a hugely successful book, "Harriet Hubbard Ayer's Book of Health and Beauty." She died in 1903 from the flu.
