About This Item

Chicago: M.A. Donohue & Co, 1915. Fair. Square 4to., stapled as issued. COMPLETE: 6 leaves (12 pp.) including front cover and back cover, all printed on soft linen. Front and back cover plus 4 other pages printed in color, the rest monochrome (printed in blue/green) allowing for hand-coloring. Very worn and partially defective, priced accordingly. Not in OCLC. ¶ We love antique children's books that are festooned with cats, so what's not to like about this vintage coloring book? Several well-known illustrators contributed to it, including Florence Notter, Lillian A. Govey, G.F. Christie, Rosa C. Petherick (1871-1931), Stuart Barker, and Mabel Lucie Attwell (1879-1964). ¶ The present edition appears earlier than Donohue's (likewise undated) "Pussy Picture Book" which depicts four cats circling a Jack-In-The-Box on the front cover. ¶ Provenance: "Ann McIntyre, Xmas 1926" / "Mary Ann McIntyre.
