| Catalog Notes | "The key pages contain the objects, figures, and parts of figures, belonging to the blanks left in the picture-book. The objects ... are all numbered according to the pages to which they belong ... They must be cut out neatly and very exactly, and stuck on with gum in the blanks which they fit. The book will then be complete."--How to use this picture-book, first leaf of text. Title, series and imprint statement transcribed from p. [1] of printed wrapper. Series transposed from head of wrapper in transcription. First leaf of printed text followed by [6] leaves of plates printed in color by what appears to be a chromolithographic process. Plates feature human figures pasted in by the process described above.

Wrapper printed in colored ink. "London:--Frederick Warne & Co., Bedford Street, Strand."--publisher's advertisement, p. [4] of wrapper.
