4to. Unpaginated, 32 pp. including title. Undated except final plate, which gives date of 1887 and so presumed date of book's publication, and this date is consistent with fashions exhibited in book, plus the book's arts and crafts informed aesthetic which was the rage in the 1880s (Japanese influence, the particular color palette evocative of Greenway in England). Magical illustrations of children in nineteenth century garb, with small blackamoor figures, hobby horses, Japanese lanterns, etc. Front board has soilage and wear, with some crinkling to paper over board. Some light small fox marks on title by hinge edge, but otherwise this leaf is clean. Leaves of book generally clean and book tight. Overall very good and attractive copy of rare and special title.
