[Bonte, George Willard- Scarce] Sandman Rhymes

New York and Boston: H. M. Caldwell Company, [1904].

First Edition. 4to. Original color pictorial paper covered boards, red cloth spine. Illustrated endpapers. Wonderful color illustrations throughout of various nefarious anthropomorphic scenes involving combs and pens and shoes and bobbins and many more inanimate objects coming to life in splendid form. Reminiscent of early Denslow, and the subject humor conjures the Golligwog wit. A very scarce colorplate children's book, with no copies found on the net at the time of writing. Corners and edges scuffed, very good.
