This is an absolutely charming child’s book printed in London in 1853 (David Bogue, 86 Fleet Street).

It tells the tale of “Lottie” who came into the lives of Laura and Florence, her human “sisters”. There are 12 wonderful engravings throughout.

Hard-bound, it measures 7 by 4 ½ inches and is in very good condition. There is some fading and spine wear of the embossed cover boards. There are no loose or foxing pages.

There is an inscription on the interior front cover that reads “Frances Edith Allcard with Mrs. Pearce’s kind love May 7, 1855.”

This is a book that will enthrall both doll and children’s book collectors alike.
