Sobre este artículo
London: Charles Tilt, 1832, 1832. First edition. Cohen 65. Fine copy, enclosed in a cloth chemise, with the bookplate on the front paste-down of the exclusive New York club, The Brook.. 12mo, original printed yellow wrappers. Four plates. Advertisement on the rear wrapper. Without the eight pages of terminal advertisements as called for by Cohen. A fable about a humble bee who wanders too far from home, literally and figuratively, and is taken advantage of by a devious wasp, who encourages him to drink too much. Little is recorded about the author Richard Frankum, who apparently was a physician. In a second edition published by Pickering in 1861, he acknowledges the fine work of Cruikshank in illustrating his fable.
