Illustrations accompanied by musical notation and verse for children's folk songs opposite each. Exceptionally rare. This copy with a somewhat tattered spine. Bottoims of pages deckled. The illustration for Frere Jacques has been folded back at its inner edge 1/4 inch. Otherwise the interior and all images almost fine. Inventory# 7605 Price $525.00
