N-LP005 Corticelli Silk Mills – Parody on The House That Jack Built
Small advertising booklet, stapled, 8 pages not including covers. Dated 1882. Starting with the Corticelli Silk Mills, each page adds a couple of lines to the previous page, all singing the praises of Florence Silk that was produced by Corticelli. Very nice illustrations around the text. Original colors were light green ink on a tan background.
