A FROG HE WOULD A WOOING GO. FROM ORIGINALS DESIGNS BY H.L. STEPHENS.

Condition: Very Good-

Unpaginated, 10" H - pictorial front board. "H.L. Stephens (1824-1882, originally from Philadelphia, later working in New York) was a very good illustrator who has been accorded faint praise by the critics. The reason is largely the result of the poor reproductions in which his work appeared. That is why this edition of 'A Frog he Would A-Wooing Go' uses the original drawings by Stephens, which are at the moment in private hands at Harvard University, rather than the reproductive lithographs of 1865 which were made from them. The difference is striking; for these drawings compare with...
