About This Item
London and New York: Frederick Warne & Co. Hardcover. Collectible; Very Good. Lovely --and uncommon-- Victorian-era children's title, c. 1890. Beautifully illustrated thruout in rich chromolithography by the author. A solid, well-preserved and VG octavo in its wonderful pictorial boards, with a neat 1893 Christmas inscription --and school presentation below-- on the front free endpaper. A bit of of light foxing as well along several of the margins but the plates are uniformly bright and clean. A nice example of Victorian children's book design.
