Why You’ll Love It
An impressive early work by celebrated IGMA Artisan Barbara Raheb, this miniature edition of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was published in 1979 and is numbered #148. A thick volume containing hundreds of pages of readable text.
The maroon pyroxylin binding is richly decorated in gilt, with a wonderfully clever cover portrait combining the refined Dr. Jekyll and sinister Mr. Hyde in a single split-profile image beneath a top hat. Rare, retired, and beautifully preserved, this early Raheb book is a particularly striking piece for a miniature library or serious book collection.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
