| Catalog Notes | Cover title varies: The mad dog. After Caldecott. Imprint statement transcribed from upper cover. Probably a pirated edition taken from the Frederick Warne issue. According to the Oxford companion to children's literature (1984), Randolph Caldecott first published his illustrated version of An elegy for a mad dog in 1879. "The Caldecott series ... The mad dog. 4to., 32 pages." --publisher's advertisement, lower cover. This description matches that given for the Caldecott series in the section of the McLoughlin publisher's catalogue devoted to "New stock for the seasons of 1880 and 1881." (See Catalogue of McLoughlin Bros., toy books (New York, [1880])). Publisher's advertisement in the book in hand also includes entries for the following items in press--Transformation toy books, and The yellow dwarf series. These two series are not listed in the trade catalogue for 1880-1881, but are included in the Catalogue of McLoughlin Bros., toy books (New York, [1882].) Cover and full-page illustrations chromolithographed. Textual illustrations lithographed in sepia ink. Cover included in pagination. |
