Description
Asahel Saalfield’s The Saalfield Publishing Company, founded in 1900 in Akron, Ohio, was one of the largest publishers of children’s books, games, and paper dolls during the early to mid-20th century.
The company gained prominence for its innovative approach to publishing affordable and accessible literature for young readers. And would ya check out the cover of their edition of Moby Dick! But remember kids — never ever judge a book by its cover.
Alfred Staten Conyers is mainly recognized for his illustrations in this edition of Moby Dick. Saalfield ceased operations in the 1970s, but its books and activity products remain collectibles for enthusiasts of vintage children’s literature and Americana.
