Sewn in original light blue paper wrappers both covers printed in dark blue, with title on the front and list of Pleasure Books for Young Children on rear, within decorative borders, gilt edges. (Spine shows signs of extraction from a bound volume). A little soiling but a very good copy, with juvenile ink inscriptions "Robert Frederick Balfour 1853" and "Robert, RFB", and in pencil "Bertie". The title is headed "Pleasure Books for Young and Old". The imprint is taken from the front cover, with the price "Sixpence, Plain / One Shilling, Coloured". The rear cover lists the 18 "Pleasure Books for Young Children", this being no.18. COPAC locates two copies, at Oxford and the V&A. McLean believed the wrappers were probably designed by Owen Jones.
