Octavo, pp., [26]. Pictorial card-wraps illustrated with chromolithographs. Illustrated throughout, including 6 further chromolithograph plates. Printed on blue, buff, and green papers. Small ink numeral to upper corner of upper cover; light toning to edges of covers; binding thread loosened, with slight loss around stitching; unusual stitched repair to pages 23-24; occasional spots of smudging to contents, but generally clean and bright, plates particularly fresh. A very good copy. A curious and charming book, which is a variation on the ‘Dolly’s Doings’ series of children’s rhyming books. This book is, to our knowledge, the only book in the series that is not a miniature book. As is so often the case with children’s books of the nineteenth-century, this title lacks any publication information. Richly illustrated, this book replicates the figure of Dolly from an edition illustrated by ‘E. Patterson’, but the illustrations here are finer, richer, and deeper than those of comparable titles. £50.00
