The book of nursery rhymes, tales and fables. ..
A mid-nineteenth-century American children's anthology of nursery rhymes, tales and fables, published in Philadelphia in 1858 by J.B. Smith & Co. and attributed to Lawrence Lovechild. The pictures are small black-and-white pages of ornamental borders, decorative headpieces, a drop-cap initial and simple woodcut vignettes of an owl and a bird, which suggest compact border and banner motifs for a designer.
