Description
Square octavo pictorial card covers (1" split to foot of spine else still well attached without loss) 26pp. + illustrated publisher's catalogue of pens, diaries etc on back covers. *Osborne Collection p68 has matching title & says "resemblance to Kate Greenaway's work". De La Rue, Victorian printers of Bank of England's banknotes were known for the fine quality of their printing and these chomoliths are nice examples of their skill. In illustration and layout they are similar to Caldecott's toy books, but whereas the Caldecott series rose to 16 titles and were reprinted not only by Routledge but later by Warne, De La Rue only seems to have brought out about ten such titles and only a few other children's illustrated books. This is a nice copy of a not common book with vivacious village scenes crowded with people & events.
