printed in red. This is another version, with the wrapper printed in 
green ink, and issued alone. Text and illustrations are 
chromolithographed. The color is subtle and naturalistic. One leaf 
folded accordion-style to make twelve pages. The leaf consists of two 
sections pasted together; one folded into eight segments; the other

possible that the emphasis on "Autumn Leaves" in this ad, shows this 
to be a printing prior to that for Christmas use. See McClinton/

color in the margins of the title page. Ow about Fine. $550.00
