| Catalog Notes | According to the Oxford companion to children's literature the first English edition was published in 1877. "No. 2775.--Baby's opera--Mother Goose with music size, 8 1/4 x 9 inches ... The cover is in full colors and varnished. Extra wide cloth back."--McLoughlin Brothers' eighty-sixth annual catalogue (New York, 1914), p. 65. Description includes a picture of the binding, which bears a picture a cat playing a cello--which matches the issue in hand. Boards printed in color (background colors are orange and red) with green cloth spine. The illustrations are unauthorized copies of Crane's originals. Most of the illustrations in the issue hand do not have the Crane monogram found in the 1877 issue published by George Routledge and Sons. See Walter Crane's letter to the editor of Scribner's monthly denouncing the poor quality of the unauthorized McLoughlin Bros. edition of The baby's opera (April, 1877, v. 14, p. 721.) Illustrations chromolithographed. |
