Sobre este artículo
London: George Routledge and Sons, [1880]. [vi], [4], 126[6]pp. 32mo.(92mm x 92mm). First edition in a variant binding. Original full red morocco with gold gilt lettering and decoration stamped to the front and gilt embossed bands to the spine. Cream coloured endpapers. All edges gilt. Illustrated with 12 full page colour plates and many small illustrations throughout the text. The previous owner has written their name on the ffep and has also added names next to some of the birth dates. Some rubbing along the edges and a small spot of ink to the back board. Overall, a well loved copy in very good condition. Schuster & Engen, 39, 3a.. A lovely little book with 382 illustrations by Greenaway and verses by Mrs. Sale Barker. This is a variant binding of the first edition, which appears to be quite scarce. Along with Randolph Caldecott and Walter Crane, Kate Greenaway was one of the most influential illustrators of her age. Greenaway's illustrations even gave rise to a fashion in young children's clothing in the 1880s and 1890s. 1880
