Beschreibung

16pp. 12mo. Illustrated with EIGHT wood cuts. A very clean copy, but it has at some point been bound in leather and the original boards have become detached and missing. Someone has made a paper cover to protect the text. Osborne notes that in the Twentieth Edition, 1838,the footnotes are taken from the 1809 edition and the illustrations are modifications of those by Mulready with two added to the original of six. This poem was first published with four illustrations by William Mulready, the second issue had two new engravings, the Twenty-sixth edition now has eight wood engravings, not copper like the earlier issues. The Butterfly s Ball was written by William Roscoe. Comparing this edition with the extra engravings, to my Grant & Griffith Edition Circa 1850, the same wood blocks have been used in both editions.
