About this Item
4to, printed title page, pictorial title and 16 plates with letterpress text incorporated, by E. V Boyle, bound in slightly later half blue calf, spine gilt with raised bands and red label, a bit rubbed and faded to spine, short splits to joints, minor spotting only, but generally a very clean attractive copy, FIRST EDITION of the original black and white version of EVB's first book, a collection of illustrated nursery rhymes. Comparison with the later colour wood-engraved Sampson Low edition of 1859 [see Alderson 'The Treasures of Childhood' p.77] reveals just how much more of EVB's detailed penwork is preserved in the original edition printed by the short lived anastatic process.
