Credit line
Gift of Julia P. Wightman, 1991.
Notes
Twelve verses engraved.
Eleven hand-colored copperplate illustrations, the first plate is the engraved title.
One in the puzzle case of My mother, now stored separately with the Taylor works at T-34.
"Wonderful chapbook version, apparently unrecorded and unknown to C.D. Stewart in her exhaustive bibliography of the Taylors. Although the irregularity of eleven leaves suggests a missing frontispiece, the presence of all 12 of the verses and the sense of completeness to the book suggests otherwise. We have not been able to trace another copy of this edition for comparison"--bookseller's comment, probably.
