Pages 22-23

Scope and Content

Double-page spread for pages 22-23 of 'The Bad Child's Book of Moral Verse', written and illustrated by Charlotte Hough. The spread features a blank page 22 facing a watercolour illustration on page 23, with a transparent overlay attached. A paper frame has been taped to the overlay, with a typed copy of the text which is to be printed on page 22 stapled to the frame. The frame is annotated with page numbers, and with instructions for the printer.

The illustration on page 23 appears, at some point, to have been cut out of the spread with a knife, and then subsequently taped back into position in the spread. The reason for this is unclear.
