RARE Numbered 1911 Edison Light Co. Christmas Book - made for employees

Description

This is a LIMITED TIME OFFER of a RARE employee edition of "Christmas 1911 with The Edison Electric Co. of Boston."  This 96 page book depicts a special Christmas celebration arranged for Edison employees.
The book was printed for
PRIVATE DISTRIBUTION
and was presented to Carrie Curtis and numbered #878.  This book measures about 8 7/16 x 10 1/2 inches and is in good condition with little wear other than some staining especially on the back cover and some minor paper loss again on the back cover.  The binding is strong with some separation starting on the bottom.
One of the very interesting accounts in the book tells about the search for a Christmas tree for the employee party.  They could not find a suitable tree and decided instead to BUILD A TREE MADE WITH BRANCHES AND PARTS OF INDIVIDUAL CHRISTMAS TREES.  This tree can be seen in some of the pictures.  I don't imagine any company would even consider such a project for their employees in this day and age.
This book is rarely seen offered to the public.
Please remember this is a limited time offer and will return to my collection if unsold after December 15th.
Also included is a separate insert of a frameable photo of Dr. Charles Steinmetz and Thomas Edison taken at Briarcliff Lodge in 1909.
The book is not inexpensive but trying finding another.
