Comment – This item is extremely scarce.  We only found 3 copies of single prints from this source available online, all for very high prices.  Scarcity is likely due to its being a very early children’s book, and online information indicates that they only printed about half of the already small intended printing run.

Size – about 8x12.25”, hand-colored

Condition – Nice
