About This Item
London And Glasgow: Blackie & Son Limited. Fair with no dust jacket. [1900]. First Edition. Decorative Boards. KB32...Title page, 48 unnumbered pages. Square octavo. Blue hard boards with a doll in yellow walking with a toy Captain of the Guard. Boards are rubbed at the edges, blue cloth spine a bit worn. Interior missing first blank, old cello tape at front hinge which has yellow and split. The book features dolls and toys at play with rhyming captions, pictures are illustrated on one side with uncoloured mirror image so the child can copy the colouring. About one-third of the blank images have been coloured in (quite well, we might say! ) , while a few have partial colouring, and some are still blank. Last blank present, a few small foxing marks, paper is creamy, one page edge has a small chip, pages not coloured in are generally clean and nice. The book is quite scarce, with only one copy located in OCLC 152368497, no auction records, no presence on the internet. OCLC dates it at 1900 -- there was a different alphabet version issued in 1938 but this is clearly the 1900 edition. Golliwogs appear throughout the book, either as the main character or peaking over fences or around corners, but there are also different dolls, toys, stuffed bears and rabbits, etc. A charming and very scarce children's book. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 48 pages .
