Humboldt was easily one of the most, if not the most, accomplished scientist of the early 19th century. His detailed travels to South America yielded a massive trove of knowledge about the natural world.
His most famous work, Cosmos: A Sketch of the Universe, was forgotten for many years, until recently experiencing a resurgence of interest due in large part to the best selling book The Invention of Nature by Andrea Wulf.
This set here is the first American edition, published by Harper & Brothers in 1850, complete in two volumes. Bound in light brown calf with black and red titles. Not easily found in this condition.
This is the best I could find in the moment

OMG. Dude. You have to read this as well as their other books (but start with that one). It's a couple who accidentally stumble into the high-end rare book World. They're great.
It's not a first, that's not the first edition cover. My guess would be mid 20s reprint based on the style.

Oz books are one of those things that have enough value in early copies even thought they wouldn't normally be collectible just because they're so popular. You could probably get $20-40 each on Ebay/etsy/amazon maybe even locally.
Hello. I've found this book and was wondering the worth. The New Orleans Homemaker https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XB6FVL9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_g7IKDb6MGN57V
The only text which is readable in that picture is the title which you have already mentioned. Without author names and publishing information it is almost an impossible task to find out any information about a book with such a generic title.
Edit: Nvm, reverse image search was able to identify it. You can buy it on amazon for $5.
It's chronicled in the Ipsum in messem famelicus Eruca
Bitten By Witch-Fever is a book published in 2016 that details arsenic wallpapers. It’s been on my to-read list for a while.

This is the book (not me posting about it on amazon)
Also, this book is an essential guide to identifying edition and printing practices of different publishers. No serious bookseller or collectors library should be without it.
It contains way more information than you can find online, particularly about smaller publishing houses.
