This is one of the state with 12 lithographs, consisting of text with a large human (or animal) figure in the margin, printed in black on 6 leaves. Plus an illustrated title page and an introduction by Anthony Reid, comprising a colophon. A plea for freedom, a philosophical story about mankind in the form of an innocent child - but only a fragment of Chubb's planned masterpiece, The Child of Dawn.
