Antique 1897 edition of "The Vital Question" by H. D. Perky, a fascinating historical cookbook and nutritional guide focused on the benefits of shredded whole wheat. This third edition features beautifully detailed color lithograph illustrations of various recipes, including "Shredded Wheat Fish Chops" and "Mushrooms in Shredded Wheat Biscuit Baskets." Published in Worcester, Mass., it serves as a unique artifact of early health food movements and Victorian-era culinary marketing. There is staining present throughout and possible water damage. The pictures have mirrored onto the opposite page. Also, there is some dog-earring of the pages. Author: H. D. Perky Title: The Vital Question Year: 1897 Publisher: H. D.
