| Catalog Notes | Title, imprint statement, and series transcribed from upper cover. Series transposed from head of wrapper. Text printed on cloth. "Amusing and instructive picture books for children, at five cents each. ... Fairy Moonbeam series."--publisher's advertisement, lower cover. The Fairy Moonbeam series was listed at this price in the McLoughlin Bros. catalogue of toy books for 1876; however, the catalogue does not mention its being printed on linen. The McLoughlin Bros. catalogue for 1879 lists "Fairy Moonbeam series--linen. Retail 19 cents each" (p. [4]) and "Fairy Moonbeam series. Retail 5 cents each" (p. [7]). Catalogues for 1877 and 1878 were not available. Cover and textual illustrations printed in colored ink. Illustrations produced by a relief process (zinc etching?). Illustrations appear to be the work of Justin H. Howard, who produced illustrations for many McLoughlin titles issued in the 1860s and 1870s. Some illustrations signed by engraver Edward Cogger (who engraved many illustrations by Justin H. Howard). |
