The endpaper design 4 was introduced in September 1907, although Quinby Plate III states them as being for the 10A edition of Jeremy Fisher , dated 1906. The accompanying glassine wrapper has The Tale of Tom Kitten as the most recent publication, therefore this volume must have been printed before the first edition of Jemima Puddle-Duck , which was published in August 1908. This copy in rare original condition, with the opaque glassine dustjacket, designed to protect the book during its journey from publisher to customer. Typically, as here, the jacket was printed with advertisements to the rear panel and the flaps, whilst the front panel was left blank, enabling the book to be identified by the visible wording and illustration on the front cover of the binding.
