Each book: Paperback small square, very good condition, frontispiece, black & white plates (1), colour plates (1), in thin card envelope. Both books in same slipcase. 16 + 16 pp. Facsimile edition. The Death and Burial of Cock Robin is a nursery rhyme of ancient origin. William Darton expanded the traditional rhyme with four new verses. This booklet has hand-coloured copperplate illustrations. The Moving Adventures of Old Dame Trot and Her Comical Cat has black and white engraved plates. This rhyme has been known since 1706 and appeared in a chapbook edition published in 1803 by T. Evans.
