Seller ID: 000716

Binding: Decorated Cloth

Condition: Very Good

Oblong 9.5 by 7.5 Inches. Unpaginated, between 200 and 300 pages, with about 20 published colored, with notion that the user of the book would emulate these pages.

Many of the drawings have a Greenaway style. This is a very good copy. Cover has soilage and some wear by the spine tips, and one prelim page has starting separation, but otherwise tight, and interior clean.

Pretty Farm Pictures. A Big Book for the Little Ones.

By: N/A

Price: $250.00

Publisher: London and New York, Ernest Nister and E. P. Dutton & Co.:

Seller ID: 001600

Binding: Boards attached by cloth spine

Condition: Very Good

N.d., circa 1890. With 19 large chromolithographs, including title, of animals and some children in bucolic settings, all on heavy card which gives the book real heft and durability.

Some soiling of the covers. The red cloth used on the spine has some fraying and weakening. Minor soiling of some margins within, but m...
