About this Item

Near fine pale blue cloth spine, with grey based paper covered boards. A pictorial onlay of little dancing girls in gilt frame/gold background, and lettered in gilt and navy to the upper cover. Decorative Augner logo in navy blue to the rear cover. VERY clean and tight. 4to, 300 x 235 mm, 11¾ x 9¼ inches. In the original publisher's blue lettered dust-jacket with the same pictorial dancing girls onlay to the front cover but in a dark blue border this time. The dust-jacket has some slight spotting and small loss to 3 of the 4 corners and to the head/tail of the d/j spine. Some 'invisible' repairs to the reverse of the d/j at these points. Some marking to the rear of the d/j. However the d/j is now in a new protective clear - removable - bookfilm plastic cover and looks VG. Internally badly browned front and rear free plain endpapers (offstting) with light foxing (pale brown spotting) showing through on the reverse. The rest of the book from the Title Page to the end is FINE. ALL illustrations by Willebeek Le Mair. 28 pages featuring Schumann's music for children. A single coloured illustration of a young girl dancing on the title page and 12 beautiful small, delicately coloured, illustrations, variously shaped, at top of each musical piece. Each illustration shows young girls and the odd boy, mostly dancing/playing music. NO date shown, but dated from research and presumed a First Edition. Certainly a very early edition, and not one of the later reprints which came along decades later. Delightful illustrations. See Images. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall. Seller Inventory # 119909
