Description

Description from Internet Archive (opens in a new tab)

New-York: Hurd & Houghton, 1865. — [17] p. : ill. The Death and Burial of Cock Robin is a rhyming story originally published in 1865 about a group of animals who are about to bury their friend, Cock Robin, who was killed by a bow and arrow, by a sparrow of course. The theme of Cock Robin’s death, as well as the poem’s distinctive cadence, have become archetypes in literary fiction, from poems to murder mysteries, to cartoons. This illustrated edition by Henry Louis Stephens. A well-known caricaturist, Stephens excelled at depicting animals and illustrated several children’s stories as well as being an early contributor to Vanity Fair.
