This is an original 1883 hardcover edition of Der Familienschatz, published in Milwaukee by George Brumder. The book is a German-language household and family guide containing recipes, remedies, agricultural advice, gardening information, livestock care, and general practical knowledge for daily life. Compiled from the writings of Hans Buschbauer and others, this volume served German-American families as a comprehensive domestic reference.
The brown cloth boards feature ornate embossed decoration and bright gilt lettering on the front cover. The binding appears intact, and the pages show expected age toning consistent with a book from the 19th century. No major structural damage noted, though the boards show some minor corner wear. The interior pages show uniform tanning but no major stains or tears visible from the uploaded photos.
This is a scarce and desirable German-American historical household book, especially appealing to collectors of German-language Americana, 19th-century immigrant publications, and George Brumder press items.
