The plate with illustrations 9 & 10 in the Frog title, shows a two-inch vertical tear to the lower margin of the page/plate, not within the image. The plate margins show a few tan spots, fingermarks, light dusting, splitting or small tears along the gutter. Quarter-bound with light brown, polished calf on the spine, sides, and corner-pieces, with two raised bands on the spine, and a red morocco leather title label, near the top of the spine, gilt-lettered: NURSERY RHYMES, with other gilt decorations to the spine compartments, blind-stamped borders to sides & corner-pieces, with tan and yellow marbled paper over boards, and matching marbled paper endpapers, blue marbled design on the book edges. Printed bookseller's label on the back marbled paste-down: Henry K. Van Siclen Bibliopole 95 Fifth Avenue N.Y. The inner hinges are cracked with some separation from the backing within the book, and between the parts, with wear and rubbing to the leather surfaces of the covers, damp stains (from a drinking glass) to the marbled paper on the front cover, tears, splits to flyleaves. A total of 71 Bien lithographic illustrations of H. L. Stephens' very detailed drawings which feature many 19th century costume, and other details, and five Stephens' lithographic designs on the title-pages (which are not repeated in individual parts). Some of these nursery rhymes have some political & social satire evident in the drawings, with some ethnic stereotyping, and anti-immigration details present in The House that Jack Built, the versions of the rhymes (Five Little Pigs), are not always the now familiar ones. The various titles/parts are listed in Sinclair Hamilton's: Early American Book Illustrators and Wood Engravers 1670-1870 (Volumes 1 & 2). The Library of Congress entry shows a two volume, 1866 Hurd & Houghton publication of Nursery Rhymes, described as having mounted plates Rare item. Not many individual titles in their original boards, or the titles bound together (this one, possibly for bookseller Henry K. Van Siclen), seem to have survived. Sold as an illustrated item only, with the defects as noted above.
