A charming children's book written in 1880, The Butterfly's Ball is a short and sweet story of a Ball hosted by Lady Butterfly and her cousin, Mrs. Grasshopper for all of their insect friends and neighbors.
The color engraving illustrations are a sweet example of Edmund Evans work. Edmund Evans produced children's books,many under the label of Aunt Mavor's Toy Books, in England in the mid to later 1800s, making the artwork a feature of the stories.
