Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 6-panel primer containing 4 pages of woodcut images for each letter of the alphabet; 3 versions of the alphabet in different typefaces and numbers printed on covers. Printed on thick stock. A rare American ABC book that pays to the so-called "Battledores" (German: badminton racket). The name comes from the original shape of a wooden disc with a handle, which allowed a dual usability: "In school it was used for teaching children the alphabet, while out of school served as the battledore in the game of shuttlecock and battledore" (Rosenbach). The battledore of folded cardboard was probably invented around 1746 by the London publisher Benjamin Collins and emerged from the widely used in England "Hornbook" (see Tuer 405). It enjoyed great popularity in this form, especially in the USA. The present Battledore proves already by its illustration to the alphabet (only 24 letters, without J and U) as a direct descendant of British role models.
