Illustrated Picture Rolls
By John Wolff

One of the favourites in my house is "Aeolian Song Roll 26199, Nursery
Rhymes Roll 1, Illustrated, Stanton, Made in Great Britain".  It has 6
excellent Themodist arrangements of children's nursery rhymes.  The
illustrations are no less than 51 very clear line drawings in amongst 
the words, and one (yes, just one) over on the left-hand side when there
wasn't room on the right.  But times have changed, even in the nursery 
-- some of the words on this roll are not what we are used to at all!
