The History of Little Fanny, Exemplified in A Series of Figures

London: S. and J. Fuller, 1811. Very good. Lacking original slipcase. Light toning, with some dust soiling. Lacking at least two hats, replaced with modern facsimiles.. Eighth edition, a scarce near-complete example of "The History of Little Fanny", a Regency-era paper doll book about a little girl who grows from being "idle" and "vain" to "pious, modest, diligent, and mild". Single vol. (5" by 4"), pp. 15, [3], hand-stitched in original printed wrappers with typographical border, secured further with later red embroidery thread in left-hand margin. Enclosed are: one (1) hand-colored engraved paper doll head measuring approx. 2", seven (7) hand-colored overlays (each approx. 3.5" tall) (complete), and three (3) matching hairs/hats, all pre-cut. Modern bookplate of David Lang Philips to upper wrapper verso. Early pen initials to upper wrapper ("C.A.H."). Note the italicized captions at the heads of the pages, which tell the reader which overlay to use for that part of the story.
