About This Item
(BOOKBINDING) PRATT, Charles Stuart. BABY'S LULLABY BOOK. MOTHER SONGS. Boston: L. Prang, 1888. Folio. Publisher's silk binding. Unpaginated, 16 chromolithographic plates. First edition. Despite some very minor dusting, this publishers silk padded binding with delicate chromolithographic design is the finest copy of this American color plate book rarity we have ever seen. The covers are printed white silk. Copies, when found, are virtually always in less than desirable condition because of the delicate material used. The last copy we had seen, a worn example, was in 1987. Not recorded in Bennett or McGrath, this book features sixteen mounted, quality chromolithographs by Prang from water colors by W.L. Taylor, and music by G.W. Chadwick, one of America's leading composers of the time. (35028).
