Descripción

Full Title = Little Lays For Little Learners. Comprising A Set Of Easy Songs, Suited To The Comprehension And Capabilities Of Young Beginners. The Poetry By James Bruton, Esq. Composed By Dr. Edward F. Rimbault. Edited By William Dickinson. N. D. But circa 1860. 4to. Bound in original red/black/silver-gilt decorative boards. Original spine but looks as if it has been re-glued in parts at some point - but presents well. Internally a former owner has put strips of brown sticky paper in the gutter edge of the front endpapers, the page after the title, and also at the end between pages 22 and 23. Presumably to tighten the book whilst playing. All very neat, and always in the inner blank margins & NOT encroaching on any music or picture. 24 pp PLUS 6 lovely chromolithographs by Hanhart. All images printed on stiffer 'art' paper than the Music. Six songs, all representing a particular Vice or Virtue, beautifully illustrated by these chromolithograph plates : - The Bee for Industry; The Beetle for Beauty, The Dog for Fidelity; The Bird for Cruelty (A song bird and a Caged bird) ; The Spider for Perseverance and The Butterfly for Vanity). This compilation by Edward Francis Rimbault (1816-76) , minor composer and well known musical antiquarian was first published in 1836. The verses were written by James Bruton (1815-67). This Revised Hanhart ILLUSTRATED edition seems to be pretty scarce, and Jisc Library Hub records only one UK library holding, at Cambridge. A Delightful Victorian, Children's illustrated Music book. See Images. ; Slim 4to 11" - 12" tall. N° de ref. del artículo 119983
