- Lot Description
Green board bound book with a pastoral scene on the cover, 20pp, with 20 illustrations of bird species and flowers during the month of May and June, 1845. Includes its original board bound box with spine label, Brook Farms, in gold lettering as well as its original marble board book sleeve.
Brook Farm was a Utopian agricultural educational settlement founded by Unitarian minister George Ripley and his wife Sophia in the 1840s. Located just outside of Boston, the farm and communal living experiment offered its supporters profit sharing in its products. It attempted to balance labor with leisure and paid all its inhabitants equally, including women. It produced handmade clothing and ran a for profit school for young children, college preparatory classes, and adult education. Since its establishment, the community was not financially stable and, the burning of Phalanstery happened, the community was unable to financially recover. Ultimately, lack of finances led to its dissolution in 1847.
