About this Item

12mo, original printed yellow wrappers. Four plates. Advertisement on the rear wrapper. Without the eight pages of terminal advertisements as called for by Cohen. A fable about a humble bee who wanders too far from home, literally and figuratively, and is taken advantage of by a devious wasp, who encourages him to drink too much. Little is recorded about the author Richard Frankum, who apparently was a physician. In a second edition published by Pickering in 1861, he acknowledges the fine work of Cruikshank in illustrating his fable. Fine copy, enclosed in a cloth chemise, with the bookplate on the front paste-down of the exclusive New York club, The Brook. Seller Inventory # 28877
