The original half-green cloth and glazed pictorial boards remain structurally sound and tight, a commendable state for Victorian-era children's books. The boards exhibit expected age-toning, gentle surface rubbing, and minor edge-wear, particularly around the cloth-tipped corners, though Greenaway's central cover illustration retains its charming clarity. Internally, the binding is secure. The pages display standard light, intermittent foxing and handling marks primarily confined to the preliminaries, yet the vibrant chromolithographic illustrations remain bright and unmarred by heavy offsetting. A handsome copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e Early reissue by Frederick Warne \u0026amp; Co. Following their acquisition of Kate Greenaway's publishing rights from George Routledge \u0026amp; Sons around the turn of the twentieth century, Warne continued to print these beloved titles using the original woodblocks meticulously engraved by Edmund Evans. Therefore, this represents a First Edition Thus (or First Warne Edition), capturing the exact layout, format, and illustrative brilliance of the true first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eThe book is lavishly illustrated throughout with Greenaway's iconic, idyllic visions of childhood, replete with high-waisted dresses, bonnets, and pastoral innocence. The dedication page features a beautiful vignette paying homage to the children of Frederick Locker, a celebrated poet and man of letters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eCopies found in their original glazed boards without major structural defects or crude amateur repairs have become increasingly scarce on the open market, making this an excellent addition to any collection of Golden Age children's illustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eA visual and poetic delight, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"36\"\u003eLittle Ann and Other Poems\u003c\/i\u003e unites the moral, charming verses of Jane and Ann Taylor with the unparalleled aesthetic of Kate Greenaway. Originally penned in the early 19th century, the Taylor sisters' poems are given vibrant new life through Greenaway's delicate, nostalgic chromolithographs, depicting an idealised, pastoral childhood that would come to define the Victorian imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53985577304403,"sku":"4203-RM-F-VG-50","price":68.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260605_162719.jpg?v=1781250501","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/little-ann-and-other-poems-jane-ann-taylor-1st-edition-thus","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
