The Circus procession

Juvenile Collection (Library of Congress), McLoughlin Bros · 1888 · N.Y. [i.e. New York] : McLoughlin Bro's., c1888. · 14 pictures

A children's picture book of verse published by McLoughlin Bros. in New York in 1888, drawn for young readers and set around a circus parade. Its chromolithographed pages show clowns, an elephant, ponies and horses, and a painted procession, with each scene captioned by a rhyming verse printed beneath it. A designer could take its bold flat colour, lively poses, and the pairing of rhymed text with a simple picture sequence.
