Description from the seller
Full title "His Version of Robinson Crusoe. As Narrated & Depicted to His School Fellows at Dr. Tickeltoby's"
Presumed First edition. Undated but circa 1867.
Humorous version of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. Illustrated with childlike caricatures on a school blackboard slate.
A very nice example of early colour lithographic printing.
The soft cover's title reads: To The Admirers of Native but: Uncultured Genius: This Version of Robinson Crusoe Done with Slate Pencil in the manner of the very earliest masters is submitted by McLoughlin Bros, New York.
Spine slightly split at tail, a little light soiling, offsetting from illustrations inside, but overall good.
26 pages. 25 x 19 cm
