The John C. Winston Company published this hardcover edition of “Our Great State Papers” in 1930 in Philadelphia, with copyright dating back to 1927. The book compiles significant American historical documents, including the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of New Jersey, the History and Pledge to the United States Flag, and the Flag of New Jersey. The content reflects the civic educational priorities of its era, accompanied by an illustrated frontispiece and classic typographic design.
Personal inscriptions on the preliminary pages indicate the book was awarded to Ralph Rosen in 1938 by the Board of Education of the State District of Newark, New Jersey, adding provenance and historical context.
Moderate exterior wear and some page aging are visible. See photos for measurements. This piece offers a primary historical look into early 20th-century American civic instruction.
