Item description from seller

8vo. cloth, dust jacket. 709 pages. First edition. Spine of jacket lightly faded, as well as having shallow tears to head of spine of jacket. A very good copy. In 1787, William Darton began engraving and printing children's books. Over the next 60 years, his firm printed over 1,000 books for young people. In 1804, a separate firm of Darton was founded by William's oldest son. They published over 1,600 children's titles. The work contains the details and bibliography of both Darton firms and an index of their artists and engravers. This work is a major reference source on juvenilia and the early history of children's books. The author is the great-great-great-grandson of William Darton. There are seventy illustrations in this work. Jacket with snag in front cover. From the reference library of Philadelphia Rare Books & Manuscripts with their bookplate included.
