Notes
Colored lithographs.
The bibliography of "Three little pigs" is relatively obscure. It seems to have first appeared in 1853 in Halliwell's enlarged fifth edition of the Nursery rhymes of England. Joel Chandler Harris included a version of it as "The awful fate of Mr. Wolf" in his 1881 Uncle Remus, and Andrew Lang details the story in his Green fairy book (1892) -- though with a fox (instead of a wolf) as the aggressor. The story does exist in two earlier printed versions involving fox and geese: The history of the celebrated Nanny Goose (London, 1813) and its moralized successor Prince Renardo and Lady Goosiana (London, 1833).
Printed on linen.
