Octavo. (8)ff. Sheppard's chromolithographs are cleverly printed to reveal the culmination of each melody; by turning over an abbreviated strip at the page's inner edge, the scene transforms to show an unprepared traveler stuck in a puddle, a blackbird stealing a maid's nose, and a man's wife tumbling out of his wheelbarrow. Bound in pictorial wrappers. Sheets still bound in but shaken and rather slack, moderate overall soiling, else good+ and rather scarce.
