Pictorial Wraps. Condition: Very Good. Randolph Caldecott (illustrator). Early Edition. 8" x 9.5". 24 pgs. Paper wraps, front cover printed in color, edge wear, closed tear near base of spine, old bookseller sticker inside front cover. Published between 1886 and 1900 based on rear cover titles and size of book. This was Caldecott's last shilling picture book. The text, a nonsense verse, was written by Samuel Foote, allegedly to test the actor Macklin, who boasted that he could memorize anything with a single read-through (Osborne pg 63). Illustrated with 6 color plates, the balance in line. The best part is there is a bear wearing a dress! Thwaite pg 197, Muir (English Children's Books) pg. 199, and British Book Illustrators 1860-1900, pg 36, C20. Size: Small Oblong 4to.
