Gift of Elisabeth Ball, 1965.
Notes
Engraved throughout.
First state, as identified by dedication signed 'S M C' but the coffin at the Undertakers marked 'S C M 1804'. A chair at the Hosier's appears to float from the old lady's hand.
Although this work is often attributed to Sarah Catherine Martin, she was probably not entirely responsible. Cf. Opie, I.& P. Oxford dict. of nursery rhymes, p. 320-321.
Illustrations hand-colored.
