España en su literatura edited by Nicholson B. Adams & John E. Keller
This item is a vintage hardcover book titled "España en su literatura" (Spain in its literature), edited by Nicholson B. Adams and John E. Keller. The cover features a striking design with a cream-colored top half and a deep red bottom half. The upper portion prominently displays an illustration of a historical figure, likely a conquistador or caballero, on horseback, holding a spear with a flag. This imagery suggests a theme related to Spanish history or literature spanning different eras. The title "España en su literatura" is printed in a large, elegant red font on the cream background, while the 'en su' part appears smaller and in black on the red background. Below the title, the editors' names, "Nicholson B. Adams & John E. Keller," are noted in smaller white text. A more detailed subtitle or description is visible in slightly smaller text at the very bottom of the red section, reading "An introduction to Spanish masterpieces from the [illegible] to the present [day/age]". The book's cover appears to be made of a sturdy, possibly cloth-bound or paper-over-board material, showing some signs of age and handling, consistent with a used vintage book. The edges of the cover, particularly the top and bottom, exhibit minor wear, indicated by slight discoloration or rubbing. The spine is not fully visible but appears to be a different, possibly blue or teal, color, typical of a separate binding material. The overall condition, while used, appears to be relatively good for its age, with no major rips, tears, or significant staining immediately evident on the visible front cover. The book's style suggests it might be from the mid-20th century, possibly a textbook or an anthology for the study of Spanish literature. Its craftsmanship indicates a standard production quality for textbooks of that period.
