Would make a great gift for the fan in your life, even if that's you. Direct reprint from the original antique children's book. It's original format was an accordion style, double sided frieze. Planographic or lithographic illustrations on paper were adhered to buckram cloth and then folded into itself. This book has been reformatted to a regular book style.There was no page for the the letter "W" as this book is of French origin and there were no words in the French language begin with a "W". The publisher has added a "W" to the book to match the other pages as even today there are very few words in French starting with that letter. The French call it a "double-v" not a "double-u".It's charming and wonderful, and can be enjoyed by children, linguists and artists of all ages. You'll notice that some of the illustrations are colored in, which are original to the source text. Clean and unmarked. Text is in French and English, modern undated edition. A true delight. 24 p. Book.

Worn but sound ABC book with a short verse, four-line verse and animal woodcut for each letter in the alphabet.

Nicht bei De Meyer. - Reizvolles Alphabet als Einblattdruck ("Centsprent"). In kleinen Rechtecken (ca. 6,5 : 5 cm) ist jeweils ein Buchstabe des Alphabets in Druck- u. Schreibschrift sowie ein passendes Bild abgedruckt. Dies ermöglicht auch die Zuschreibung des Herstellungslandes (z.B. "V" für "vurk" statt der deutschen "Gabel"; Z für "zaak" statt "Säge"). Das Blatt befindet sich auch im Bestand der Koninklijke Bibliotheek zu Amsterdam (Bestand Borms 0466; im Internet auf der Seite "www.geheugenvannederland.nl" abgebildet, aber ohne weitergehende Angaben zu Hersteller oder Druckjahr). - Ecken mit leichten Knickspuren, Faltspur quer zum Blatt (dort kl. Beschädigungen), 3 kl. Einrisse alt hinterlegt.
