New York, New York: McLoughlin Bros. c.1870. The nursery rhyme of Jack Sprat and his wife, printed in large print for early readers with large, hand-colored in-text illustrations by McLoughlin. Interestingly, it appears as if the cover illustration was meant for another publication ("Little Tom Tucker"). Believed to be a printing error. Single vol.

Good. Large short tear to foot of spine, dust soiling, wear to extremities.
