Aunt Fanny's Picture Present Book A collection of seven children's chromolithographic works.
-
First edition. An attractive but difficult to trace collection of children's lithographic ABC / Chapbooks from 1859. There are no publisher details, and no titles to any of the works. The whole is made up of seven separate children's books. There are a total of 58 leaves in the work. The majority of these are printed in colour chromolithographic plates to one side only (seven of the leaves are coloured text and printed on both sides) which give us a total of 65 printed pages. Six of the seven are complete, and one appears to lack two leaves. The seven works are as follows: [1] Animal ABC. Seven leaves with illustrations of animals and large letters below. [2] Animal ABC. Five leaves with four animals and text to each leaf. There are only A-P present so we suspect is missing two leaves. [3] Animal poems. Eight leaves with a large picture and a short verse. Numbered 1-8. [4] The naughty Chicken. A moral tale for children with a large picture and verses below, in a red decorated frame. In typical Victorian style, the naughty chicken is condemned to death by the court in London, and is executed. The last plate appears to show the chicken being eaten! It is this tale which gave us the date for the volume, as it illustrates the Penal Laws of London 1859. Eight numbered leaves. [5] Old mother Hubbard. Eight numbered leaves with a large picture, title above and verse below. [6] Nursery Rhymes. There are seven leaves of chromo-lithographs (quite a few to each page) alternating with seveb leaves of text. The text leaves are printed to both sides so 14 pages (Including a double page ABC). [7] Who killed Cock Robin. Seven leaves of colour lithograph with verses beneath. The whole is bound in a gilt and blind stamped decorated cover. A little rubbed and bumped. The spine appears to have been restored. The pages inside are in slightly darkened and foxed condition. Some small archival repairs to some page edges and reinforcement of the end papers. A fascinating collection. 25.5cm x 19cm. .
