Roundabout Tales, Little Snowdrop
1900,
Soft cover, Very Good Good Book 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall
Little Snowdrop is the early or British version of the Snow White tale. This little linen like book has no listed author, publisher or date. I am going to make an educated guess that the publisher/printer is a major British or German one as the color lithography is stunning. Style of the book and color printing is c. 1900. Soft heavy paper cover with linen like exterior is color printed with a green cloth tape binding which is in very good condition. Pages printed in a sepia with light hand colored washes to some of the illustrations. Over all light soiling. Minimal bumping of edges; a soft crease in the back cover. Pages are thick and linen like. 8 15/16" x 6 5/8"
