Why You’ll Love It
A miniature edition of one of the most enduring works of American literature, this Barbara Raheb book recreates Stephen Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage: An Episode of the American Civil War. First published in 1895, the novel follows young Union soldier Henry Fleming through fear, flight, shame, and a search for courage during battle. Remarkably, Crane was born after the Civil War ended and had never experienced combat when he wrote the novel, yet the book became celebrated for its psychological portrayal of a soldier under fire. Raheb’s 1:12 scale edition is numbered #39 and features pages of readable text accompanied by black-and-white illustrations. The maroon pyroxylin binding is finished with gilt titling and a Civil War soldier design across the front cover.
Rare, retired, and beautifully suited to a miniature library, military collection, gentleman’s study, or historically inspired room box.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
