McLoughlin Bros, New York, 1883. Apparent First Edition. Softcover. Very Good/No Dust Jacket. Fantastic copy of a book of children's stories; Cover is string bound, with only very minor damage on the corners; Although I couldn't tell it myself, I have been told by an avid McLoughlin collector that the string binding has been repaired from its original condition; Listing of 63 different "Aunt Louisa's Big Picture Books" on the back cover; There are a few small chips out of the back cover; Each page is about 3/4 of a page for an illustration, and 1/4 page for a story; Illustrations were done with a lot of ink, and are incredibly bright and colorful.
