Mother Bunch : a story for boys and girls
A children's story by Stella Austin, published in London by J. Masters & Co. in 1885 for boy and girl readers. Six wood-engraved plates, signed with a monogram, show domestic and village scenes: a man declaiming to gathered children in a parlour, a top-hatted gentleman and women beside a railway carriage seat, a girl confronting a crying boy on a cottage path, and a bird-cage seller in a crowded room \u2014 useful for Victorian dress, interiors, and crosshatched figure groups.
