Sobre este artículo
Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1882. Edward Lear (1812-1888) was a famed illustrator of birds and botany prior to his turn to limericks and nonsense, by which he is most remembered today. The first nonsense dates to 1871; here is an uncommon and delightful compilation from a decade later. Pictorial paper-covered boards featuring the Owl and the Pussycat (the first Song in the book). Clean text; unpaginated, with 150 coloured illustrations; decorative endpapers.The textblock has no issues - bright and clear. There is a contemporary (1884) gift inscription on the second free endpaper. Edges are darkened; rubbed at the margins with a few chips. In an archival plastic protector.. First Edition Thus. Pictorial Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
