The English Struwwelpeter : pretty stories and funny pictures for little children
1876, Early Edition. London : Griffith, Farran, Browne & Co. Poor copy in the original cloth-backed colour-printed boards, now scuffed and dust-dulled. Corners bumped, with spine and panel edges worn. Text block complete but detached from covers with many leaves loose. Leaves ragged and with minor tears to the margins; p. 19 shows a long crosswise tear. Nonetheless, there is no significant loss and the pages, though age toned, are free from foxing. A complete and serviceable example. Item #473328
