I've got an old book from not long after the turn of the century ( c 1920 ish I think) with what was at the time a wonder of wonders - photos! Unfortunately I read it to death when I was kid and it's now falling to bits

My favourite old book is a Tales of King Arthur from ( I think) the 50's, with some beautiful colour plates. My mum bought it at a jumble when I was a kid ( 10p!) and it's the book that got me into fantasy. I still love reading about the Pig Sty Prince, the Knight of the Sparrow Hawk, the White Dragon and the Red, and the Fairy Hunt,( and none of the spurious Lancelot and Guinevere stuff either) and now my kids are reading it and loving it.
