Fragile binding (split joints), slight rubbing, foxing. Charming missal in Lilliputian format, adorned with an engraved frontispiece (Savior of the World) and several black-and-white engravings as inserts, depicting religious and devotional scenes (the Infant Jesus, the Ascension, etc.) Handwritten ownership marks from the period in brown ink on the endpaper: “Little parishioner belonging to Laurier (?)” A somewhat fragile copy given its unusual size.
