Wraps
by de Cooz, Louis Mercier. Illustrations by Harriett M. Bennett
Wraps. Fine/Very Good. Scarce item, with no copies located on OCLC, nor anything discoverable about the author of the verse. N.d., circa 1890. 8vo. 19 by 16 cm. 16 pp., plus wraps. No information on the publisher. Very charming chromolithographs of small children foxhunting. in naval garb, in eighteenth century frippery. The conceit of the book is small children engaging in essentially adult activities and/or emotions. Thus, strictly-speaking, the book was probably more intended for an adult audience. There are seven chromolithographic plates. The leaves are of a card stock and sturdy. Most unusual is that the dust jacket has survived and is in a well-preserved state.
