This charming Victorian children's book from McLoughlin Brothers showcases the remarkable chromolithographic artistry that made the New York publisher America's leading producer of illustrated books for young readers. The cover features a striking scene of two dromedary camels before the Egyptian pyramids, their colorful saddle blankets rendered in rich reds, blues, and greens that demonstrate the sophisticated multi-stone printing process.
Part of the Four Footed Friends Series, this educational volume combines engaging prose about animals with moral poetry, including a delightful piece titled 'A Contented Donkey.' The interior pages feature a mix of black and white illustration with selective color printing, while the back cover presents an equally appealing chromolithograph of giraffes at a watering hole.
A wonderful example of late Victorian children's publishing at its finest, this book represents McLoughlin Brothers' commitment to bringing high-quality, colorful educational materials to American families. The survival of such ephemeral items in readable condition makes this a noteworthy addition for collectors of children's literature, chromolithography, or natural history illustration. *Please note this book is thin and is ready to frame as is.
