Front wrapper title: Mother Hubbard

Small 4to (10 ¾" x 8 5/8"); [14pp]; stiff glazed chromolithographed pictorial wrapper showing Mother Hubbard with her dog looking into an empty cupboard; 3 staple binding; 4 full-page color illustrations with titles, gift presentation on rear wrapper; light scuffing to front, light soiling to wrapper, some off-setting of sepia print; very good plus. Not in Blair & Whitton. Not recorded in OCLC in Father Tuck's Tiny Toddler's Series.

This humorous children's poem by Sarah Catherine Martin (1768-1826) is delightfully illustrated with a pretty young woman instead of the more frequently seen old figure. Her dog's antics are captured in verse and lively illustrations.

Dating the publication is based on the opening of Tuck's Berlin office in 1907 and the designation of "Publisher's to their Majesties, The King & Queen, & T.R.H. The Prince & Princess of Wales" 1901-1910.
