Item description from seller

Print year is estimated. No print info or date on copy right or title page. However since publisher's address does NOT include the word Ltd, this book was probably published before 1917 and after the Routledge 1877 edition (original). Title page states A Book of old rhymes with new dresses and The Music by the earliest Masters" . Smaller book- approximately 7.5" by 7.25". Nearly every page is the musical score with lyrics or the rhymes. Each page is illustrated with drawings that surround or border the score and lyrics. There are also full page illustrations. Printed in colour by Edmund Evans. Paper from this period (1900's) is heavier, cotton based so not surprisingly that the interior pages are still bright in appearance. The interior pages are foxing along edges. NO folds, creases or missing signatures in interior pages. No writing. End papers are foxed/ browned with light soil marks ; one closed tear on FEP. The binding is holding well but loose; signatures are attached but there are cracks at various signatures. Spine must be carefully supported when reading. This is NOT an ex-lib nor a remainder nor a recent reprint. Brown cloth covers with a pasted down paper illustration on front and back cover is rubbed and with wear along edges and surface scrapings throughout. Wear to covers have to be expected on a 100+ year old children's book. See pictures. Note: We have a closed shop - so our books are not handled often by the public. We take pride in describing books as accurately as possible. "Fine or Near fine" book condition judiciously; only when the book/magazine exhibits few or no flaws. Any flaws (writing, tears, creases) are exceptions to a Fine condition and should be clearly described for a book, or magazine.
