Ridden, Written, and Illustrated by Joseph and Elizabeth Pennell. First edition. 4to., original brown cloth lettered in gilt and pictured in black. London: Seeley and Company, 1885.
With a later inscription by Elizabeth on the half-title: “Inscribed for Miss Grace Jansen by Elizabeth Robins Pennell to whom the little book has the value of being the first she and Joseph Pennell made and published together.“ The printed dedication is to Robert Louis Stevenson “in gratitude for the happy hours we have spent travelling with him and his donkey.” The Pennells describe their conveyance as a tricycle, but it’s not one as we would know it!
