| Catalog Notes | An adaptation of Thomas Day's History of Sandford and Merton. "[I]n order to maintain the identity of the book, it has been thought right to retain the proper names of Sandford, Merton, and Barlow, which form the only exceptions to the rule of using words of one syllable exclusively."--Preface, p. [3]. By Lucy Aikin (i.e., "Mary Godolphin"). At least three McLoughlin Bros. issues of this text are typographically identical, and have the same plate illustrations. However, the bindings each represent different design styles that were used by McLoughlin Bros. at different times between 1879 and 1899. Issue in hand is bound in red cloth with the title, "Sandford and Merton in words of one syllable" stamped in black on gilt. Upper cover bears a chromolithographed pictorial label of a boy pulling snake off of another boy's leg. "Bound toy books. ... elegantly bound in cloth, with beveled edges; embossed in black and gold; covers mounted with fine illustrations in oil colors and varnish."--McLoughlin Brothers' catalogue of toy books, 1879. Text printed in two columns. Plates chromolithographed. |
