    Description

    black americana Table And Kitchen: A Compilation Of Approved Cooking Receipts. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS First Class.
    Chicago: Price Baking Powder Co, 1891. Octavo-sized, stapled booklet (18.5 x 13 cm.), 64 pages. Illustrated. Index. Date from OCLC records. Evident FIRST EDITION. A product cookbook, issued by the Price Baking Powder Company, a small player relative to other participants in the Baking Powder Wars like Royal and Rumford. Recipes in narrative form are accompanied by testimonials and descriptions of comparative analysis of various other baking powders, revealing adulteration with ammonia, or so they say. Truly fine and bright, in publisher's chromolithograph wrappers, depicting an elaborate dish being presented in the kitchen by an African American cook or manservant (which one is not clear). The rear wrapper panel depicts a dining room, decorated in Victorian style, and ready for service. Scarce, especially in this condition.
