Amst., G.Theod. Bom, 1854. 8vo. Modern half brown cloth, with gilt title on spine. With tinted lithographed frontispiece and 6 full-page tinted lithographed plates, all beautifully finished by hand. (2), 136 pp.

Fine illustrated children's fable book, freely adapted from Gellert's fables by the Dutch school-teacher Jan Schenkman (1806-1863). Schenkman produced a number of very attractive illustrated children's books, mostly published by G.Theod. Bom at Amsterdam, and much sought after by the collectors of today. G.Theod. Bom was a rather famous Amsterdam publisher of children's books too, especially "en vogue" for his fine colour-printed and hand-coloured lithographed plates.
The present collection of fables was intended for young children, a similar volume for the somewhat older children was published at about the same time as well.

Fine copy.
Coll. Caljé-Van Gulik 597; Cat. De Koning 304 (both vols.); not among the G.Theod. Bom-ed. in KLKL.
