- Notes
- A miniature book containing hand-colored illustrations, including one of a Jewish (?) miser counting his hoard of cash and coins while his wife pleads for some grocery money. "This man is what they call a miser. He loves gold more than anything else. He does not want to give his wife any of it to buy bread or tea with. Such men no one loves." Unknown to Doris Varner Welsh, Bibliography of Miniature Books (1470-1965) (Cobleskill, N.Y., 1989). A variant copy held by MWA is paginated (47 p.).
