About this Item

Published by Ernest Nister in London and E. P. Dutton in New York. Undated but known to be 1895 and A First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 23 x 22 cms. Page number: 16. Poems and sepia coloured pictures accompany the six chromolithographic wheels with changing pictures. Sadly all of the wheels are broken at the center so no longer attached as they should be. Professional repair could restore them to functioning and pleasing condition however. Condition: Very Good. The cover is generally rubbed and bumped at the corners. The front hinge is cracked, the interior hinges are slightly cracked. The pages are, but for small marks, quite clean. The disks, the moving part of the revolving pictures, have come loose. They all have some loss and damage around the hole at the center and would require skilled repair to re-affix them. They also have some loss, tears and creasing across the surface or at the edges. The central staples are slightly rusty but the rust does not spread onto the paper.
