About This Item
Possibly 1st and only Can. edition. circa 1900. Top edges gold; foredges and bottomedges not trimmed. 30 splendid illustration pages including the frontispiece and title page. Richly painted by hand with rich, bold colours. As a result of the watercoloured illustrations there is some wrinkling to most of the tipped-in coloured pages, mostly to the bottom inch or so below the titling; not much of a distraction from the illustrations themselves. H.K. Browne is also known for illustrating books for Dickens and others.
