(Title and scene 1 replaced in facsimile, archival tape to folds, toning.) Later cloth-backed boards, gilt lettering to spine (browned to edges). Note: Catherine Mary Webber published two other comical works: ‘The Experience of an Amateur Artist’, 1858, and ‘Miss Scratchley, an Amateur in Art and Crinoline’, 1863.
