Description
Colour Plates, Early Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Uncommon

Features a frontispiece, opposite the beautifully decorated half-title, and 6 further unnumbered colour plates, drawn by Kate Greenaway, and Walter Crane.
Both influential and noted artists, Kate Greenaway and Walter Crane's work is the highlight of this title.
Crane was an illustrious artist, known for his work in children's literature.
Greenaway's artwork and style is thought to have held such sway that it influenced children's fashions between the 1880s and 1890s.
Penultimate plate is loose, and slotted inside.
