Book Details
Edition Notes
Text is an accordion-folded structure forming 16 pages, 6 of them blank.
"The two volumes in this series each introduce six words in cockney rhyming slang, defined within a rhyming couplet, and illustrated in watercolor. Every image is a composite of Victorian ephemera: card games, cut-outs, fashion plates, tourist items and early children's books printed in the mid-19th century. The original sources, all in the author's collection, show the startling range in quality of early color illustrations, from crude hand-coloring with stencils to exquisitely printed chromolithography." -- Colophon
The other volume in this series is: "My elusive Cockney family"
