Aunt Louisa's nursery favourite : comprising Diamonds and toads, Dick Whittington, Lily Sweetbriar, Uncle's farm yard
An 1870 London and New York children's storybook from Frederick Warne, with colour plates by Joseph Martin Kronheim for Laura Valentine's collection of nursery tales including Diamonds and Toads and Dick Whittington. The four plates show costumed scenes of quayside farewell, a roadside exchange, a forest meeting by a spring, and an old woman with a staff, all in rich hand-coloured tones a designer could use for period costume and storybook staging.
