Unique Circa 1860 Nursery Book Six Large Color Illustrations Alfred Crowquill

Description: Three images of this book are shown below; I have not been able to locate another copy on the internet. This book is: At School and at Play, Poems and Illustrations by Alfred Crowquill (1804-1872, aka Alfred Henry Forrester), Published in London by Nelson and Sons, no date, circa 1860. This softcover book measures 10 3/4" x 9" and is 12 pages, each of which is printed on one side only. There are six, charming, full-page chromolithographs in Fine condition and blank on the reverse (e.g., please see the first two images below); each measures 8 3/4" x 7 3/4" and has a corresponding poem. For example, "Hide and Seek" is the poem that corresponds to image #2 below. Overall, the book is in Good condition only with various signs of wear, mostly to the covers. And I suspect there once was a color illustration by Crowquill at the white circle on the book's front cover (image #3 below); Crowquill's illustration at the bottom of the front cover is partially detached and in otherwise Fine condition. There is no former-owner's bookplate inside, no writing inside, no foxing, and there are no loose page. The book is in its original condition with no amateur- or professional-repair; it will be shipped in a solid new box anywhere in the United States via USPS Media Mail for free.
