Boston and New York: Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1905. Coloured title, each poem with separate coloured half-title, frontispiece, 13 plates and numerous text illustrations, all in colour. Green cloth, decorated in blind with a horse-and-carriage pattern; an absolutely fantastic copy. First colour-illustrated edition. The black and white ink illustrations from the original edition were so popular that Pyle (1853-1911) was asked to reproduce them here in colour. BAL, 9258; C&T, p. 237.
