Abstract
This book is similar to one edition published by Donohue, Hennebery and to two by Routledge (all listed under 1885?). The difference is that this McKay volume uses the front title-page to announce both books that are bound together here. Notice the error in Townsend's middle name. Notice how the title-page presents Speckter, who is an engraver: With Rhymes by Otto Speckter! The internal title-page says One Hundred Picture Fables with Rhymes by Otto Speckter. That global reference could be read accurately. The frontispiece color-illustration is missing here, the illustration at 96 has separated from the binding, and the front cover is becoming separated. The black-and-white illustrations seem less vigorous than in the Routledge copies. Should one assume that this McKay edition is a knock-off using the Routledge plates?
