Children Book Litho Cover Snow White. This scarce late 19th-century Victorian children's booklet cover titled "Little Snowdrop" features charming chromolithograph artwork illustrating the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale (famously known as Snow White). The front cover depicts Snowdrop serving a roasted turkey feast to the seven dwarfs seated at a banquet table inside a quaint cottage interior, making this piece highly appealing to collectors of antique fairy tale ephemera, Victorian children's literature, early Snow White collectibles, and late 19th-century chromolithography. Published by Hubbard Publishing Co., copyrighted 1896, chromolithographed paper booklet cover, marked with publisher credits and "Copyrighted 1896 by Hubbard Publishing Co." in red text along the bottom right margin, measures approximately 8 x 10.5 inches. Displays expected signs of age including uniform paper toning, faint surface scuffs, minor edge creasing, and faint bleeding from reverse text visible through the cream paper background, though the central illustration remains rich in color, crisp, and fully intact; no major tears, heavy foxing, or missing paper loss observed. See photos for close-up details.
