    . John McLoughlin was a Scottish-born coach maker who became a prominent figure in the New York publishing industry during the 19th century. He began in 1819 after moving to New York and initially worked for the Sterling Iron Company, where he developed an interest in printing. By 1828, he had established his own printing business on Tryon Row in Manhattan, focusing on publishing semi-religious tracts for children under the title McLoughlin's Books for Children. In 1840, McLoughlin partnered with wood engraver Robert H. Elton to form Elton & Co., which specialised in toy books, comic almanacs, and valentines. His son, John McLoughlin Jr., eventually took over in 1850 when both senior partners retired. The firm of McLoughlin Brothers is listed at 24 Beekman St. in the New York directories for 1858 to 1862, McLoughlin Bros. was located at 30 Beekman St., New York, between 1863 and April, 1870. Under John Jr.'s leadership, the company became known as McLoughlin Brothers and pioneered the use of colour printing technologies, including chromolithography, for children's books. This innovation made their publications visually striking and widely popular. The McLoughlin Brothers expanded their offerings to include games, puzzles, paper dolls, and other children's products. By 1870, they had opened the largest colour printing factory in the United States. Their works often featured adaptations of British stories by illustrators such as Randolph Caldecott and Kate Greenaway. The company thrived until it was sold to Milton Bradley in 1920. Despite this transition, the McLoughlin imprint continued to produce children's books into the early 20th century.

    Warja Lavater (1913–2007) was a Swiss artist and illustrator noted primarily for working in the artist's books genre by creating accordion fold books that retell classic fairy tales with symbols rather than words (or even pictures). At the time of writing this work, Honegger-Lavater was living and working in New York. 120 x 175 mm (4¾ x 7 inches).

    . Un bel exemplaire de ce leporello / histoire pliante mettant en scène le vilain petit canard. Texte en anglais, allemand et français au verso. L'ensemble de l'ouvrage est conçu pour être vu comme une lithographie sur panneau. Le colophon indique qu'il s'agit d'une première édition et d'une lithographie originale du studio Emil Matthieu de Zurich. L'ouvrage est muni d'un petit crochet qui permet de le suspendre comme une œuvre d'art. Les planches sont légèrement assombries, tout comme les pages du leporello. Il y a quelques petites déchirures fermées aux plis qui ont été réparées avec du ruban adhésif d'archivage. La page de colophon porte un petit cachet de bibliothèque scolaire d'une école de l'Ohio. Warja Lavater (1913-2007) était une artiste et illustratrice suisse connue principalement pour son travail dans le domaine des livres d'artiste en créant des livres en accordéon qui racontent les contes de fées classiques avec des symboles plutôt qu'avec des mots (ou même des images). Au moment de la rédaction de cet ouvrage, Honegger-Lavater vivait et travaillait à New York. 120 x 175 mm.
