Abstract

I have realized after cataloguing this booklet that I had catalogued a copy earlier. For several reasons, I will stay with duplicate copies and duplicate records. Cozans was at the specific address given here, 107 Nassau Street, from 1855 to 1861. This eight-page booklet -- including the inner covers -- is 10 x 6¾. The outstanding feature of this booklet consists in the hand-colored illustrations, one to a page. There are rather grossly done, but they probably offer a good view of how such coloring was done. The lion's face in the last story is typically human; lions were the hardest for many artists to portray, perhaps because they had never seen a lion. The stories are in rhyming couplets. They are heavily admonitory. We should avoid idleness and make ourselves useful. Pets are sychophants. Do not wander too far from home. What you despise as you look into a mirror may be yourself. The obverse of each interior page is neither printed nor painted. Note the different typeface on the book's title as it appears on the front cover.
