Original colour-printed lithograph by L.L. Weedon, for The Little People's Book of Fun by L.L. Weedon and Clifton Bingham. Printed in colour circa 1910 by Ernest Nister in London or E.P. Dutton in New York.
German publisher, Ernest Nister, printed lithographic books, first in Germany and then in London from 1888. He specialized in high quality printing for children's books around the turn of the century and the wonderful character artist, G.H. Thompson began doing watercolours for him. Thompson specialized in depicting animals with human characteristics, in human situations; and he even wrote early children's books himself. Thompson's attention to fashions of the day and the individuality and attitude of each animal is brilliantly and amusingly portrayed.
