About This Item
London: Sold by T. Evans, No. 788 Long Lane, 1805. 16mo. 10.6 x 5.5 cm, re-sewn into protective wrappers. Fabulous original printed wrappers with woodcut of Jack and Jill holding a pail of water, and with printed publisher and poem at bottom. 16 numbered pages (except for front cover, which is [1]. 16 wonderful half-page woodcut illustrations (one on every page). This appears to be the earliest copy of this title we can locate, with others a bit late published by Evans as well, but curiously with the imprint ìJ. Evans.î Our copy with ìT. Evans.î The discrepancy perhaps a relation within the publishers? Extremely scarce thus. Printed on very fragile paper which has seen some toning over the years and some spotting, untrimmed, edges frayed. Osborne p.97, listing a slight variation, ëPd by T. Evansà to front wrapper. In protective decorative paper folder. Only two copies found in WorldCat.
