Very good A pleasing copy of the second, enlarged edition of Christina Rossetti's book of nursery rhymes, illustrated by Arthur Hughes and engraved by the Brothers Dalziel, from the library of the Glaswegian bookseller and publisher James J. MacLehose, featuring his striking ex libris by fellow Scot, the artist and etcher Sir David Young Cameron. Rossetti's collection was first published in 1872; she just lived to see this new edition, dying the following year, 1894. The MacLehose firm was associated with the University of Glasgow, as its printers and publishers, for over one hundred years and was known for its "typographically elegant work". From the second generation, James J. MacLehose eventually took over both businesses run by his father James MacLehose (1811-1885) and uncle Robert MacLehouse (fl. 1872-1910), in collaboration with his brother, Robert. Known for his townscapes (as here) and landscapes, Sir David Young Cameron RA (18651945) was a Scottish painter and etcher connected with the Etching Revival.
