Beeton's Historical Romances, Daring Deeds, and Animal Stories. Illustrated, etc
An 1871 anthology of historical romances, adventure narratives and animal tales compiled by Samuel Orchart Beeton for Ward Lock & Co. in London, aimed at young readers. Wood engravings run from full-page crowd scenes of classical and historical episodes to small in-text vignettes of lions, dogs, apes and hunters drawn as comic characters, useful for cut-out animal figures, hunting props and grouped-figure tableaux.
